Here, we explore the susceptibility of companion and agricultural animals, in light of the existing information on natural infections, experimental infections, serosurveillance, and in vitro protein‐homology binding interaction studies of the SARS‐CoV‐2 with the proposed receptor angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 from diverse animal species.
