Student of Animal and Poultry Breeding & Genetics, Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran, Karaj, Iran Journal Article 2021 03 31 During a pandemic, domesticated animals and pets are among the most vulnerable groups and need human care and support. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world faced three problems related to pets: (1) Zoonotic concerns in caring for a pet, (2) The effects of the pandemic on the behavior of pets and their owners, and (3) How to take emotional and physical care of pets. In this review, we have tried to identify and provide supportive solutions to ensure the welfare of pets by addressing these problems. Studies in this area have shown that dogs and cats can be infected with the virus, but are unlikely to show clinical signs or to be able to infect other animals or humans. Of course, information in this area is not yet complete and more research is needed. Therefore, it is suggested that humans take precautionary measures to help control the spread of the disease and the well-being of themselves and their pets.
