COVID-19 Pet Preparedness  

A lot of folks have been asking, “What should I do with my pet if I get sick with COVID-19?”  

The Marin Humane Society believes that the best place your pet can possibly be is at home with you, even if you’re ill. If you believe you’re infected with COVID-19, avoid close contact with your pets if possible and have another member of the household care for them. If you must care for them yourself, wash your hands before and after any contact with your pets. You should also distance yourself from other animals from outside of your household and prevent your pets from coming in contact with other animals.

Follow all precautions provided by the CDC and create a plan for your pets in case you need to be hospitalized. The shelter should only be your last resort if you’re unable to care for your pet.

Instead, arrange for a family member, neighbor, or friend who can take your pets, and arrange for a back-up in case your first choice isn’t available. Gather all your pet’s necessary supplies in a go bag so you don’t need to track them down in the middle of an emergency.

Your go-bag should include:

  • Contact information for the person or people who will be caring for your pet
  • Your pet’s food and treats, leashes, toys, beds, and any other supplies they would need during a two-week period
  • Collar and ID tags (be sure your pet’s microchip is also up to date) 
  • A carrier or crate 
  • Your veterinarian’s contact information 
  • Your pet’s medications, along with instructions 
  • Vaccination records

Being prepared is the best thing you can do to protect your pet!
