Abstrakt: •Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius(MRSP) in Iran were investigated.•4 MRSA (from 2 veterinarians and 2 dogs) and 19 MRSP (from 12 dogs and 7 cats) were investigated.•SCCmectype II and three spatypes (t186, t1816 and t10897) were identified in MRSA isolates.•MRSP isolates contained SCCmecII (2 isolates) and V (10 isolates); 7 isolates were untypeable and contained class C1 mec.•Pets and veterinarians could be potential sources of multidrug-resistant MRSA and MRSP strains in Iran.
