Updated April 2021: Please refer to this site for most recent and research-informed information about COVID-19 and companion animals.

With so much information out there, some of our wonderful students did a round-up of the latest recommendations for companion and service animals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sources include: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), The Humane Society of the United States, NEADS World Class Service Dogs, the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Shelter Medicine Program, and the National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA). Infographics created by University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work  and Animal-Assisted Social Work Certificate student Hannah Vanbuiten.
