Exposing Potential Risks: Common Diseases Spread by Animals to Humans
Zoonotic infections are illnesses that may be transmitted from pets to humans. Keep up with your pet's preventative care to prevent getting different diseases even if they seem to be in perfect health.
How can my pet pass diseases to me?
Pets can pass germs to people in a variety of ways, including through: direct contact with saliva, blood, urine, or feces; indirect contact with contaminated surfaces; vectors like ticks and fleas; contaminated food; and contaminated water.
What diseases can I get from my pet?
Numerous illnesses can be passed from pets to people through bacteria (leptospirosis, salmonella, E. coli, tick-borne disease, cat scratch disease), viruses (rabies), fungi (ringworm), intestinal parasites (roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, giardia, toxoplasma), and external parasites (scabies, fleas, ticks).
Always use excellent hygiene while handling your pet, their waste, and their possessions to avoid the spread of illness.
Regular preventative care is the greatest method to safeguard every member of your home. Give our staff a call to arrange for your pet's preventative care appointment.
