Are Diseases Transmitted from Cats to Dogs and Vice Versa: A Note for Pet Owners
Many people are not limited to having just one pet in the house.
This raises a natural question: what to do if one of your pets catches a disease?
We find out whether diseases are transmitted from dogs to cats and vice versa.
Common diseases
Let's start with the fact that although the organisms of dogs and cats are different, both pets can still be affected by the same diseases.
One of the most terrible diseases transmitted through bites is rabies. There is no cure for it, so you should keep your pets away from wild and stray animals and isolate your pet if characteristic symptoms appear.
Cats and dogs also suffer from ringworm. The only difference is that dogs develop round bald spots, while cats develop irregular bald spots.
Dogs and cats share intestinal parasites, which they often “exchange” without wanting to.
And finally, not only people, but also cats and dogs can transmit colds to each other.
