Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is better to avoid close contact with children. Children exposed to pet animals are at a higher risk for developing conditions like asthma and allergy in the future. One episode of contact doesn’t cause any harm.
Hope I have answered your query.
