While it’s not common, pet dogs and cats can occasionally contract impetigo from humans or other animals, particularly if they have broken skin or weakened immune systems. If you suspect your pet might have impetigo, consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
Having impetigo once doesn’t necessarily increase your risk of developing other skin conditions. However, if you have chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, you may be more susceptible to recurrent episodes of impetigo.
