It is well researched and documented that poor indoor air quality can have serious negative health effects on your family. Airborne dust, poor ventilation, chemicals and hidden mold can cause allergic reactions as well as more serious health issues and disease in the elderly and young children.
However, it’s becoming more apparent that your pets may be suffering too.
Animal Wellness Magazine published an article last year stating that ‘Indoor air pollution is an issue in every modern home”. The Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine published a clinical trial in 2018 which found a direct link between ‘Indoor Air Pollution and Respiratory Disease in Dogs and Cats”. Also, PetMD recently published an article on “Dogs and Asthma caused by Poor Indoor Air Quality”.
Poor Indoor Air Quality can come in many forms and varying severity. All experts agree that dogs and cats are more susceptible to negative health reactions to indoor pollutants due to the fact that they are smaller in size than their human companions.
