Abstract

Abstract: We monitored the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibody response in seven dogs and two cats by using two multispecies ELISA tests, plaque reduction neutralisation test and virus neutralization. SARS‐CoV‐2 neutralizing antibodies in pets persisted up to 10 months since the first positive testing, thus replicating observations in COVID‐19 human patients.
