Abstract
In a survey of 104 U.S. infectious disease specialists, 88% reported working in facilities that allow Animal Assisted Activities or Pet Visitation. Variability existed in the species of animals allowed, restricted areas, and veterinary assessments, demonstrating a need to standardize infection prevention approaches across healthcare facilities to mitigate potential risks.
