We all know how dangerous secondhand smoke can be to people. But, have you thought about its effects on cats and dogs? Pets not only inhale the smoke, they also ingest tar, smoke and carcinogens from cleaning their fur. Health risks for pets may include respiratory problems (like asthma) and cancers (oral or nasal carcinomas). Please do all you can to protect your pets because secondhand smoke kills. Open windows for fresh air and wipe their fur down daily to minimize the damaging effects on pets. For more pet health and nutrition tips, please visit AskAriel.com
