Covid vaccine for dogs

[reddog1951]

I'm don't want to lose my really great dog and thinking about giving him the covid vaccine. Anyone done that before?

an 'expert' in Wuhan Virus .

I’m sure your pooch will do just fine without the jab. But hey, one can’t be too cautious.

Don't you think you should ask a veterinarian?

Not without confirming the veterinarians' political bias.

A mask should be fine.

The vet can't get the vaccine but I have source. Great do I want to protect.

If a vet can't get the vaccine that probably means Dogs can't get Covid from man. Besides if your Dog can't Sing or Dance take your chances.

Evidently cats can, hence my concern. I'm vaccinated, so more worried about my dog.

Ok, here's the deal.
There's quite a few medical chemicals or whatnot that are the exact same stuff for humans and critters. However, the dosage used is different. Thus, a human dose would be way to much for a critter half the humans size (dog) or smaller (cat).
Conversely, what we give horses and other critters that size would way overdose a human.
It is this simple.
You need to talk to your vet.

How old is your dog ... in human years, please.

I think this forum is appropriate for a follow up question:

Is your social distancing plan not working out for you?

Ok, you three are the finalists for the thread winning post.

BTW: There is some study or two targeting cats as a carrier.

Eccie is a great place to ask for medical advice for your dog.

You're already off to a great start.

I would start vaccinating anything that moves.

You could even spray some vaccine around your house, like bug spray.

Can't be too safe.
