The report did maintain that euthanasia would be a "last resort" where "testing and/or isolation are not feasible."
The UK's Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Christine Middlemiss, told the Telegraph that no pet-related infections had been reported yet.
She added: "We will continue to monitor the situation closely and work with veterinary and public health colleagues, both in the UK and across the world, to manage the animal health associated risks with monkeypox."
Similarly, Professor David Robertson, whose speciality is in viral research, told the outlet that exposure to pets is a "valid concern" but are less likely than humans to spread the infection.
"Rabbits and mice would be ones to watch, as they're likely to be kept as pets," he explained. "This virus does have quite a wide host range which is always worrying in terms of potential to establish in a new host species… it would seem sensible to monitor any animals/pets that infected people are in contact with."
