Various studies have shown that environmental tobacco smoke (or simply ETS) can bring about life-threatening medical problems to pet dogs, cats, and birds. Therefore, committed pet owners must consider taking precautionary measures in terms of keeping their beloved pets away from exposure to smoke and smoking products in their immediate environment.
If you are an avid smoker and you own a pet or two, you should outside, not inside your house. Specifically, do not smoke in areas where your pets sleep, stay, or frequently spends time around. This must be a golden rule without any exceptions at all, no matter who is involved (whether family, house guests, and others).
Another thing to note here is this: eliminating exposure of your pets to hazardous smoke does not stop when you smoke far away from them. You should check your environment and be wary of other products, like e-cigarettes (which are known to contain various toxic chemicals).
Any change in your pet’s behavior should warrant a visit to your animal hospital Leesburg, VA. More information at this website Lansdowne Animal Hospital.
