Can I be with my dog if I’m pregnant?

After pregnancy, it is recommended that pregnant women should have less contact with dogs. This is because both cats and dogs are prone to Toxoplasma gondii and some other parasites. If a pregnant woman is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, it can increase the risk of abnormal fetal development and miscarriage. Toxoplasma gondii infection of the fetus can lead to more serious complications. Generally, in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women with high-risk factors and close contact with cats and dogs need to be tested for Toxoplasma gondii. It is recommended not to have close contact with these animals during pregnancy to avoid any effect on the fetus. Also rabies vaccination is required if you are accidentally scratched by cats and dogs, so it is still important to pay attention.
