🚨Air Quality Alert🚨
An update from the state veterinarian:
“Follow these tips to protect your animals from poor air quality:
🐾Avoid strenuous exercise outdoors. Although walking or running with your pets is typically beneficial, it is not recommended when air quality is poor due to elevated particle levels.
🐶Limit the amount of time animals spend outdoors. Only allow animals outside when necessary. Provide indoor spaces for your pets until the air quality alert is lifted.
🚪Keep doors and windows closed. Use fans or air conditioning units with air filters to promote clean air flow and replace filters regularly. Air purifiers can help reduce any particles that come indoors.”
