The risk of infection and disease prevention of cats using shared neck clasps.
Recently, a fan asked us a hygiene question about the use of pet neck covers: "Can cats with sick cats or dogs used neck covers be infected?" "This concern has led to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of disinfection and disease transmission in pet supplies**.
Cross-infection of diseases between different pets is not common, and only a few diseases such as fungal diseases can be transmitted between cats and dogs. Therefore, understanding the type of disease that has been developed by pets who have previously used a collar sleeve is key to assessing the risk of contagion.
Hospitals usually implement strict disinfection measures after using the neck sleeve, including but not limited to ultraviolet disinfection and disinfectant brushing, which effectively reduces the possibility of infectious diseases spreading through the neck sleeve.
Rabies is mainly spread by direct contact with saliva, rather than indirect contact with wounds or mucous membranes. If the cat itself has no wounds and the neck cuff has been disinfected, there is no risk of infection, even if there is saliva left in the sick animal.
Feline plague (panleukopenia) is not contagious to dogs, it is only transmitted in cats, and it is mainly through the fecal-oral route, in which cats are exposed to and swallowed feces with the virus. If there is a virus on the neck sleeve, a variety of conditions need to be met before it can cause infection, and the actual probability is very low.
Based on the above analysis, the risk of a healthy cat being infected with rabies, feline plague and other diseases is negligible when using the sterilized shared neck sleeve normally.
By providing raw, balanced nutrients, the BARF feeding method can strengthen the cat's immunity and reduce the risk of infection when using a shared neck sleeve. The Barf cat food products launched by McFudy follow the principles of a natural diet and are rich in high-quality protein and trace elements, providing cats with comprehensive protection and helping to prevent the spread of diseases.
