Can my dog be around other dogs if he has coccidia?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Is coccidia contagious to humans or other pets? Coccidia is contagious between dogs. Fortunately, the protozoa are host-specific, so while cats can become infected with certain subspecies of Isospora, your dog cannot pass the disease to cats in the household. Similarly, the disease is not contagious for humans.


Can a puppy with coccidia be around other dogs?

Is Coccidia Contagious to Other Dogs? Yes, coccidia is contagious to other dogs, and infections are more common in areas where many dogs are congregated in the one spot, such as in boarding kennels or amongst populations of stray dogs.

Is coccidia contagious during treatment?

Remember, the most common form of coccidia in cats, Isospora felis, is not contagious to people or dogs, and most adult cats eliminate the infection without any treatment. If you have a kitten, your cat is acting sick, or you're worried in any way, never hesitate to ask your local vet for help.

Is coccidia highly contagious?

Is coccidia in cats contagious to humans or other pets? Coccidia can infect cats, dogs, and even humans. Fortunately, host animals are usually affected by different species of coccidia, which means that spreading the infection between different species (e.g. from cat to dog) is highly unlikely.

How is coccidia spread between dogs?

How did my dog become infected with coccidia? Your dog most likely became infected with coccidia from swallowing oocysts (immature coccidia) that are found in dog feces and soil contaminated with feces. Infected dogs pass oocysts in the feces.
