Don't wash your dogs. You'll be fine.

Good grief! Start going down that road and where will it end?

I think you would have some very unhappy dogs they are not that keen on being washed down
Do I clean my coat everytime I come in not likely

Absolutely!!! And a meteor could drop from the sky onto your house. But what are the chances of either happening?

We have been told to keep washing our hands when we arrive back home,
and it seems the home is where we seem to contract the virus more than anywhere else.
With our dogs,I don't think we wash them down after we return home from excercising.
The temperture of a dog is slightly higher than humans and the virus lives for up to 72 hours.
So our dogs COULD have the virus on their coat after mixing with other dogs.
