Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes you should take care of the things which you are sharing with him. Staphylococcus bacteria are maintained in the livestock like dog in your case and can be transferred to the humans with sharing. Many a time these bacteria can be MRSA strain. These bacterium are highly resistant to routinely prescribed Chat Doctor.  So you should keep distance with the pets. You can wash him regularly. If its necessary you can use antibiotics soap to bathe him. Do not share bed with him. Its food utensils should be washed and kept separated. Once infected these bacteria can cause variety of infections that include skin, respiratory and other infections. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
