I've seen headlines stating cats are particularly susceptable. Sorry no link, but you can google if interested.

I saw (& posted) an article 2-3 weeks ago about zoos vaccinating animals to protect against covid.

I had a conversation with a worker at my vet & said I wish there was a covid vax for dogs & he said they've had a coronavirus vax for 30 years. Apparently it is part of the multi vaxes dogs usually get. But couldn't say if it works for this covid.
