Things Not to Share with Your Pets
Zoonotic Diseases
Broadway Veterinary Hospital
in Seattle |
Help keep yourself and your family safe.
Certain diseases can be spread from pets to people, but this does NOT mean you need to give up your pet. With a few simple steps, you can keep your pet and your family healthy.
Things to Consider:
- Washing your hands before eating and after cleaning up after your pet is often one of the easiest
 ways to prevent the spread of disease.
- Many intestinal parasites can be passed to young children, AIDS and cancer patients, and others with a weaker immune system. These can easily be prevented and/or controlled.
- Pregnant women might be at risk of passing toxoplasmosis on to their unborn baby. Please contact us for more information.
- Bartonella is very common in cats in the Pacific Northwest. If you have young children or are immune-compromised, please contact us.
- Depending on your dog's lifestyle, s/he and you might be at risk for Leptospirosis. If your dog spends a lot of time in the woods or in Eastern Washington, let us know.
- Fleas can transmit diseases, including bartonella, which can effect humans and even be lethal for people who are immune-compromised. The good news is that fleas can easily be prevented.
