Protecting Pets from Unhealthy Air: Tips for Safety

As the Canadian wildfire smoke affects air quality, pet owners are advised to take precautions to keep their pets safe. On code red air quality days, limit pets' time outside and avoid heavy exertion. Wipe their muzzle, paws, and coat with a damp cloth after being outdoors to remove pollutants. Monitor pets for any changes in behavior, such as heavy breathing or irritated eyes, and contact a veterinarian if necessary.
