      Why test?Why test?

      Protect your pets from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

      Dogs are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 by a reverse zoonosis. If you have COVID-19 you can infect your pets.

      Our team confirmed this finding in a seroepidemiologic survey* of cats and dogs in Portugal and found antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in 15/69 (21.74%) cats and 7/148 (4.73%) dogs.

      Clinical signsClinical signs

      As in people, animals often have mild clinical signs, or are asymptomatic, but there are also reports of fatal cases.
