On Jun. 2, 2020, The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Veterinary Services Laboratories announced that it found the first confirmed case of a dog contracting the coronavirus in the U.S.

The USDA said in a statement that it first took samples from the dog, a German shepherd in New York, after it showed “signs of respiratory illness” and that it is expected to make a full recovery.

One of the dog’s owners tested positive for the coronavirus and another dog in the household tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, suggesting exposure, the agency said.
