Wildfire smoke impacts pets, too. Here's how to protect them
Дата публикации: 16-07-2026 17:00:23
If you’re feeling the impact of wildfire smoke, chances are your pets feel it, too.
So, what should you watch for before seeking care?
The Environmental Protection Agency urges pet owners to get in touch with their veterinarian if their pets are showing any of these signs of smoke and heat exposure:
Excessive coughing or gagging
Trouble breathing
Red, watery eyes or nasal discharge
Excessive panting
Fatigue or weakness
Reduced appetite or thirst
According to the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, short muzzle dogs such as bulldogs, Boston terriers, pugs and geriatric or pediatric animals “are more susceptible to poor air quality.” The organization also noted that dogs with “pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, asthma, or other conditions affecting the heart and lungs are at an increased risk.”
How to prevent harm from wildfire smoke
The EPA recommends mitigating risk of smoke exposure for pets by:
Keeping pets indoors with windows and doors closed
Make outdoor bathroom breaks quick
Move outdoor pets into a utility room, garage or bathroom
Using an air purifier in your home may help both you and your pets breathe easier. When it comes to your HVAC system, change the filter every one to three months.
