The bond between people and their pets can increase fitness, lower stress, and bring happiness to their owners however, animals that we commonly house as pets may carry diseases that can be passed to humans. Pets carrying these germs may look healthy and normal. Your veterinarian can help you keep your pets healthy and be sure to use good hand hygiene after handling your pets.
