If people are careless, it may even infect humans. So dog owners should remember to wash hands with hand sanitizer and disinfect after contact with the Teddy dog. At the same time, we need to thoroughly disinfect and clean the area where the Teddy dog stays, and spray some disinfectant to prevent residual bacteria from causing future problems and infecting other pets in the house with unnecessary germs and illnesses.
