Question for K9 Handlers

[TRN]

Was watching an episode of Cops last night and my lady came up with what I thought was a pretty interesting question.

Obviously officers take as many precautions as they can when dealing with individuals who may have some sort of infectious disease, but what happens if your K9 must be used to subdue a suspect which for this example is HIV positive or something along those lines…?

Does the dog have to be treated after for anything?

Dogs are immune to most human diseases. For example, the "H" in HIV stands for human.

Put gloves on, wipe as much spit/blood as you can off the dog

Give him some water and call the vet.

I always practice safe sex with my dog, so it's not really a concern for me. : )
