What about your pets! We’re seeing greatly increased numbers of dogs and cats with serious breathing problems – particularly brachycephalic flat-faced breeds such as Pugs, ShiTzus, Chihuahuas and cats such as Persians, Himalayans, Scottish Fold and Exotic Short-hair.? Our advice is to keep pets indoors as much as possible and minimize outdoor time and walks at least for the time-being. Of course if you have any concerns about your pet’s health during this air pollution crisis – give us a call ASAP – warning signs can include excessive panting, salivating and pets who seem agitated or whining. Speedy intervention not only saves lives it will help prevent long-term respiratory issues.
