Truthful Tails
Did you know? Secondhand smoke is not only dangers to humans; it can harm your pet. Your furry friend faces an increased risk of cancer because they live on carpets, rugs, and floors where deadly chemicals accumulate long after the smoke clears.
- Dogs with shorter noses (pugs, boxers) have a higher risk of lung cancer.
- Dogs with longer noses (poodles, greyhounds) have a higher risk of nasal cancer.
- Birds can experience adverse reactions to secondhand smoke and may develop eye problems, as well as other respiratory problems like coughing or wheezing.
- Felines exposed to secondhand smoke have a higher rate of feline lymphoma, a deadly form of cancer.
- Cats can develop lung diseases, irritated eyes, and depression as a result of secondhand smoke exposure.
It's not just your furry friends, your cold blooded friends are affected by secondhand smoke and tobacco too! Tobacco under your fingernails or nicotine stained fingers can pollute aquarium water, poisoning your fish.
Shocking Facts!
- Ingestion of cigarette butts or any tobacco product by animals in the wild is typically FATAL!
- Nearly 30% of pets live in a home with at least ONE smoker.
