Hello,

I see you are asking "What are the causes for boils (skin abscesses)?"

Do dogs and cats carry staph infection germs?

We all have staph!Yes dogs and cats have staph living on their skin... But so do all humans. Staph is a normally occurring bacteria. The problem is when it is introduced into a wound or begins growing in an area that is weakened because of a cut or disease.
