Can cat distemper be transmitted to dogs?

Cat distemper will not be transmitted to dogs, so owners don’t have to worry too much. If there are both cats and dogs at home, after the cat gets feline distemper, it is best to keep the cat and dog separately for safety reasons, and take the cat to the hospital in time. The pet hospital will provide examination and treatment, so that the chance of cure will be higher. During this period, the home and pet activity areas should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to avoid bacterial residue.
