Is Utah's smoky air safe for my pet?
Poor air quality across Utah is not only causing health problems for Utahns, but their pets too.
If this pollution continues, some veterinarians expect calls and emergency visits to ramp up like they do during the winter inversion.
In the meantime, there are several things you can do to protect your pet.
This includes staying indoors as much as possible, keeping hydrated, and holding off on any strenuous exercise outside until this unhealthy air passes.
“Pets actually experience the same type of discomfort and dangers that people do,” Public Relations Manager of the Best Friends Animal Society Temma Martin said.
As smoke from out of state wildfires continues to consume Utah, it is important to monitor your pet on days that don’t appear as bad.
“That first day, the smoke was so intense so it was easy to remember how dangerous the air was because you could smell it so strongly.
Even on these days that don’t seem as bad, it’s still a good idea to protect your pets,” Martin said.
