A Dog With Monkeypox? Suspected Case of Human-to-Dog Transmission Sparks CDC Guidance Change
If your dog has two or more symptoms, along with a rash, or has close contact with someone who has a probable or confirmed case of monkeypox, the AKC recommends getting them tested.
But, if close contact happened, it’s important to keep the pet home and away from other people and animals for 21 days after the most recent contact, the CDC says. It’s also crucial to keep your pet away from contaminated items in your home, like clothes, sheets, and towels. You’ll want to make sure food, toys, and bedding that your dog uses don’t come into direct contact with your skin or uncovered rash, the CDC says.
At the same time, though, Dr. Adalja says you shouldn’t worry about contacting monkeypox from a random dog on the street. The echoes that, noting that “people can catch monkeypox from animals, but the chance of this happening in the United States is currently low.” The AVMA also says that people have a higher chance of catching monkeypox from another person than they do an animal.
