Protecting our pets from Covid?

Found out that 'all' the Lions and Tigers at National Zoo in DC have tested positive for Covid-19.

Though its unlikely anyone here personally own lions/tigers, its serves as a reminder the need to be vigilant protecting our pets as Covid variants become increasingly virulent to not just humans.

I don't know the status of vaccines available to pets, anyone invited to chime in?

Zoetis is the pharm company producing the animal COVID vaccine (this is the Pfizer spin-off company that produces animal drugs). They got an EUA license late last year and vaccinations began in "at risk" species. Almost all have been zoo residents, mostly big cats and primates. The program started at the San Diego Zoo last January.
