Probably but not in the same way it infects people.

Its known to infect monkeys, pigs, birds, bats and people.

My dogs live in near quarantine conditions now. They never leave the yard without me and are seldom in contact with other dogs.

Nasty dog virus going around now.

Yes, it infects dogs. But it doesn’t make them sick, they become carriers that can infect other people

Does Eb0la infect dogs?

Yes. Up to 38% of the dogs in other outbreak areas have tested seropositive for the virus, but remained asymptomatic.
