PLEASE SHARE THIS 💕🐶‼️
The air quality is very dangerous!!!‼️‼️Please pay extra close attention to pets with squished faces like Pugs, Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and cats like Persians and Himalayans! 🐶🐱 💕Here are some tips to keep you and your pets safe:
* Keep them indoors except for the shortest possible bathroom breaks (just a few minutes if they can tolerate it).
* Do not go for walks, runs, or play outside until the air quality improves.
* Keep indoor air as clean as possible by closing windows and doors, running your HVAC or air conditioner on recirculate if available, and using a HEPA air purifier if you have one.
* Avoid bringing smoke inside. Wipe your dog’s paws and coat with a damp cloth after potty breaks if there’s ash outside.
* Make sure fresh water is always available. Offer indoor enrichment like food puzzles, scent games, or gentle training sessions to help make up for the lack of exercise.
Monitor your dog closely for:
* Coughing
* Wheezing
* Rapid or difficult breathing
* Excessive panting at rest
* Red or watery eyes
* Lethargy or reluctance to move
If you notice labored breathing, collapse, blue or gray gums, or severe coughing, seek emergency veterinary care right away.
