Passing on diseases

Corgis cannot give us their colds nor we give Corgis our colds. But a few diseases can be transmitted from Corgis to us:

Parasites (gastrolintestinal) - hookworms, roundworms.

Rabies (viral infection),

Leptospirosis (bacterial).

Ringworm (fungal infection).


Cats are a bigger health threat to humans than are dogs.
