Hello!
The age old question of 'can I catch anything from my dog?' rears its ugly head again, as summer weather approaches us. Humans are outstanding at catching all many of bugs and viruses, and living with the family dog is not going to change anything more one way or the other.
Key is prevention. First, keep yourself healthy. Then make sure through your vet your dog is healthy and has all his required shots. Make sure you have all your required shots. Keep the home envionment inconducive for pest and bacterial transportation.
Relax and enjoy your pet. Remember mom telling you to wash your hands berore you ate! She was right! And wash up after handling the dog too!:)
With these precautions and some common sense you and your family will enjoy the summer season!
Later...
