DON’T MAKE PETS WEAR MASKS (COVID-19 ADVISORY) 🙅😷

As we battle the COVID-19 outbreak, concerned pet owners might be tempted to make their pets wear masks. Our vets strongly advise against doing so as this is unnecessary and comes with risks.

On top of possibly causing significant discomfort, obscuring an animal’s mouth with a mask will hinder the animal from dispelling heat and could cause a serious heat injury.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there is no evidence that pets such as dogs and cats can be infected by the virus.

Nonetheless, we should practice good hygiene while monitoring the situation closely. Keep your pets healthy by ensuring they are up to date on their vaccinations and other preventives, are on a nutritious diet and are brought to the vet for regular health check-ups.
