hey guys I've been getting a ton of
[1]
questions about whether or not dogs can
[3]
get sick with kovat 19 can they pass it
[5]
on to their owners and while I'm not a
[7]
vet I'm gonna answer some of those
[9]
questions today as well as giving you
[10]
some really important truths about how
[12]
to keep you and your pet safe during the
[15]
time of quarantine to make this happen
[17]
I've collabed with someone really
[18]
special it's my girlfriend
[23]
definitely stay tuned to that in this
[25]
video because bear and I are gonna open
[27]
some of your packages that you sent to
[29]
the PIO box yeah it's like a pandemic
[31]
for me to visit the post office to pick
[33]
up my packages alright let's get started
[35]
with tip number one from what we know
[38]
now there is no evidence showing that
[40]
dogs can get sick with kovat 19 there
[43]
have been a few dogs that have tested
[44]
positive for Kovach but it's been
[46]
thought that the reason they're testing
[47]
positive is they have some of the virus
[49]
on their mouths on their nose likely
[52]
from the owners that they've licked who
[54]
work ovid positive that being said if
[56]
you have kovat 19 definitely do your
[59]
part by staying away from your pet just
[61]
in case number two dogs like humans need
[64]
a routine they like to be fed at the
[65]
same times walked at the same time so
[68]
played with at the same time the more
[69]
you could stick to this routine the
[71]
better behavior you're gonna get from
[72]
your pup number three social distancing
[74]
applies not only to you but to your pup
[77]
as well when I walk bear everybody wants
[79]
to play with it but now more than ever I
[81]
have to respectfully ask that people
[82]
stay 6 feet away god forbid they sneezed
[85]
or coughed on their hands gotten the
[86]
virus on their hands pet bear I pet him
[89]
and I transfer the virus to my body it's
[91]
a no-go try and do your best to keep
[92]
your pets away from other people number
[95]
4
[95]
say no to dog parks I love watching bear
[98]
play with other pups especially small
[100]
ones like little French bulldogs but
[102]
during a time like this the last thing
[103]
you want is one of the dogs who
[105]
potentially licked one of their owners
[107]
who has kovat then plays with your dog
[109]
and then brings the virus home to you
[111]
number five
[112]
wipe your pups paws now this one is more
[115]
on the really safe side if you have
[118]
someone elderly in your home or someone
[120]
who's immunocompromised and you really
[121]
want to take that extra step to be
[123]
careful go ahead and wipe those paws
[124]
down remember these respiratory droplets
[126]
that people release into the air
[127]
eventually make their way to the ground
[129]
and if your pups been walking around on
[130]
the street they can put
[132]
we bring that virus home number six keep
[134]
an eye out for stressed-out pups with
[136]
kids being home from school many people
[138]
out of work dogs are getting a lot more
[140]
play time and while initially that's a
[142]
good thing sometimes it can tire them
[143]
out they also do a great job at picking
[146]
up on our body language you may feel
[148]
stressed out but you think you're not
[149]
showing it trust me
[150]
your dog knows some ways dog show stress
[153]
is by yawning acting erratically or even
[155]
having accidents after being properly
[157]
potty trained in those scenarios give
[159]
your dog's a timeout put them in their
[161]
crate or save space for them to chill
[163]
out number seven call for reinforcements
[166]
if you're sick the last thing you should
[167]
be doing is leaving your home if you're
[169]
experiencing Cova 19 symptoms but
[171]
remember your pup needs daily walks so
[173]
ask a friend or loved one to take the
[174]
pup off your hands until you recover
[176]
number eight consider a Tele visit for
[179]
your pet many veterinary practices
[181]
across the nation have been offering
[182]
these tele visits so call ahead to your
[184]
vet just like you do with your family
[186]
doctor number nine don't overfeed your
[188]
pup you don't want your pup becoming
[190]
obese and then increasing risks of all
[192]
sorts of health problems it's very easy
[194]
when you're spending a lot of time at
[195]
home to really increase the amount of
[197]
treats you're giving don't do that
[198]
treats should make up only 10% or less
[201]
of a pets diet number 10 train your pump
[204]
know that a well-trained dog is a happy
[207]
dog and there's a few tips I have for
[208]
you on that first keep the training
[210]
session short
[211]
dogs perform better that way to use
[213]
positive not negative reinforcement and
[215]
finally if you need help don't be afraid
[217]
to contact a dog trainer because there
[219]
are virtual options available there are
[221]
