The Public Health Agency of Canada, along with various partners (including the Worms&Germs team), has developed a set of informational postcards and a poster targeting pet owners and prospective pet owners. They emphasize five critical steps for safe pet ownership and provide a visual reminder using infographic icons:
- WASH (your hands)
- DISINFECT (contaminated surfaces and objects)
- SEPARATE (animals and their supplies from food areas)
- SUPERVISE (children with pets)
- PROTECT (yourself and your family by making smart choices about a new pet)
The sheets can be downloaded by clicking the links below:
