Pets are the wellspring of bliss for human; likewise, they affect their wellbeing. Nevertheless, there are some antagonistic parts of having pets as individuals having close contact with pets can be influenced by a few zoonotic illnesses such as Dermatophytosis, Toxoplasmosis, Rabies, Plague and Sarcoptes and others. Parasite, bacteria, fungi, and virus that reside in the household pets cause these ailments. The ailment can be transmitted by means of skin contact, bites (rabies), handling pet, eating infected animal (Bacillus anthracis), drinking contaminated water or indirectly through-contaminated food, insect vectors (cat scratch fever). These zoonotic diseases are extremely harmful for people that also cause death. Zoonotic infections are common. World is endeavoring to control the zoonotic infections. Anti-microbials are accessible in most of countries. The zoonotic diseases can be controlled by taking several preventive measures, such as maintaining, a strategic distance from contact with pets, enhanced sanitation, hand washing after playing with pet, dispose of the fomites, avoid sharing bed with the pet, use gloves and mask while handling the live or dead dogs and cats that are vulnerable to infection. Lack of care is an important factor for the irresistible ailments. Public awareness programs assume to play critical job in taking care of pets and reduce the risk of the zoonotic malady. The main objective of this article is, to aware the people from such harmful diseases that are very dangerous for their health. After reading this article people will be able to prevent these harmful diseases by adapting the precautionary measures.
