Tiger Tests Positive

What we know about The Bronx Zoo & Pets

​​​​​​​We know many of you are worried after hearing about the news that a tiger tested positive for COVID-19 at The Bronx Zoo. We are here for you and we want to share what we know. As always, call us at 410-633-8808 with any of your pet care needs.

Our team has been closely monitoring and evolving with the COVID-19 situation. We are also aware of the situation at The Bronx Zoo. What we know is that a tiger named “Nadia” has tested positive for COVID-19 and it is believed she contracted the virus from a zoo employee. Other animals are also reportedly symptomatic at that zoo. The impacted animals are all expected to survive – and that’s wonderful news!

According to USDA & AVMA:

• This is the first case of its kind. Officials are still learning about this new coronavirus and how it spreads.

• There have been no reports of pets or livestock becoming ill with COVID-19 in the United States. At this point in time, there is also no evidence that domestic animals, including pets and livestock, can spread COVID-19 to people.

• If you are not ill with COVID-19, you can interact with your animals as you normally would, including feeding and otherwise caring for them.

  • You should continue to practice good hygiene during those interactions (e.g., wash hands before and after interacting with your animals, including handling of food, supplies, and waste; keep feed, water, and any supplies used to deliver them clean; remove soiled bedding and replace as appropriate).

• Out of an abundance of caution and until more is known about this virus, if you are ill with COVID-19 you should restrict contact with pets and other animals, just as you would restrict your contact with other people.

  • When possible, have another member of your household or business take care of feeding and otherwise caring for any animals, including pets.

  • If you have a service animal or you must care for your animals, including pets, wear a cloth face mask; don’t share food, kiss, or hug them; and wash your hands before and after any contact with them.

For those who are curious, the chief veterinarian at The Bronx Zoo has been reported as stating the test that was performed on “Nadia” was not the same type of test that health care providers give to people. The veterinarian added, “…there is no competition for testing between these very different situations.”
