Doesn't it also infect pets, e.g., dogs? Anyway, something we're always mindful of here in the southwest US.

- classichasclass 3y agoYes, it can theoretically infect any animal that inhales the arthroconidia (basically its spores), but there has been no documented spread from animals to humans or humans to humans.
- worstestes 3y agoYes. We lost our beloved family golden retriever to VF back in 2009. It was a painful experience to see her degenerate, and the cough was something else. I remember treatment costing a pretty penny.
- bragr 3y agoI've seen dogs get valley fever unfortunately. Not sure about cats or other pets.
