Background:
The companion animal population in the United States is both large in numbers and diverse in composition. Nearly 60% of households have one or more animals. Associated with this large and diverse group of animals are considerable risks for injuries and transmission of infections to humans.
Methods:
Through a review of the relevant literature and our collective professional experience in public health and veterinary medicine, we framed issues regarding companion animals and human health and safety.
Results:
We placed the identified issues in general contexts that could be applied to varying circumstances.
Conclusions:
Physicians, veterinarians, public health officials, and others need to work together to ensure that animal ownership is as risk free for people as possible.
