New survey highlights pets as sources of comfort

A new survey shows that pets are a source of comfort during COVID-19 self-isolation, however, there are concerns of pet infection.

A new national survey of more than 1,000 pet owners about their experiences relevant to their pet during the COVID-19 outbreak show that a majority of pet owners are finding comfort from their furry companions during these uncertain times, with many mentioning increased activity and social media and/or work conference call appearances.

Questions in the national survey from VitusVet dealt with three primary themes: interactions with pets during the pandemic, concerns about COVID-19 and pets, and veterinarian- or care-related topics. Full results can be found here.
