impacted by the poor air quality. Our pets may also be feeling the effects of the haze. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) warns pet owners that wild re smoke can harm pets to the same degree it bothers humans. Like people, animals with cardiovascular or respiratory disease are especially at risk and should be closely monitored during periods of poor
air quality.
Pollution can also have longer-term
impacts on pet health. According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, studies show that dogs who were exposed to heavy outdoor air pollution had increased brain in ammation and the presence of proteins that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease in humans. Additionally, one in 10 cats were diagnosed with asthma related to indoor and outdoor air pollutants.
To keep pets safe during times of poor air quality, the AVMA recommends keeping pets indoors as much as possible and keeping windows shut. When air quality alerts are in effect, the AVMA also recommends avoiding intense outdoor exercise and restricting a pet’s outside time to brief bathroom breaks. And, if your animals are experiencing any signs of air quality irritation, such as coughing or gagging, dif culty breathing, or irritation of the nose, throat or mouth, please consult your veterinarian right away.
