Today is 🐾🚨 National Pet Carbon Monoxide Safety Day! 🚨🐾 Because Carbon Monoxide is completely odorless, tasteless, and invisible, our furry family members rely on us to protect them from this silent threat.
Being that they’re smaller than we are and spend more time close to the floor, they can be especially vulnerable.
Here are 3 quick steps you can take today to keep your pets safe:
1. Check Your Detectors: Make sure you have working CO detectors installed on every level of your home
2. Know the Warning Signs: Sudden weakness, lethargy, unsteadiness, uncharacteristic vomiting, bright red gums, or sudden behavioral changes are red flags.
3. Have an Evacuation Plan: If your alarm goes off or you suspect a leak, get ALL humans and pets out into fresh air immediately before calling emergency services. Never leave a pet inside to "wait and see."
