Newly purchased dogs are not necessarily susceptible to coronavirus. While coronavirus is relatively common among pets, not every dog ​​will be infected. This is related to many factors such as the dog’s age, immune system, and living environment. Because coronavirus is highly transmissible, if a newly purchased dog comes into contact with a pet that is already infected with the virus, the dog is likely to become infected. When buying a new dog, you need to understand the source of the dog and take preventive measures such as isolation and timely vaccination. At the same time, breeders should pay attention to the daily care of the dog. If the dog shows symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, etc., the dog should be taken to the veterinarian in time.

Newly purchased dogs may have been exposed to environments or animals containing coronavirus in their previous living environment or contact with other animals, such as feces, respiratory secretions, etc. This can lead to coronavirus infection in dogs. New dogs may be more susceptible to coronavirus if they have a weakened immune system, such as if they are young, malnourished, have other illnesses, or are in a state of stress. The risk of infection is also increased if the new dog lives in an environment where coronavirus is present or comes into contact with a dog that has coronavirus while outside playing.

In order to reduce the risk of a newly purchased dog being infected with the coronavirus, it is recommended to understand the source of the dog before purchasing and ensure that its living environment is hygienic. After purchase, vaccinate the dog in time to enhance its immunity. At the same time, pay attention to daily care, clean the dog's living environment regularly, and avoid contact with sick animals.

In short, the key to preventing coronavirus infection is to strengthen dog health management and hygiene protection. Through reasonable feeding management and timely medical intervention, the risk of dogs being infected with coronavirus can be effectively reduced.
