Happy Thursday Everyone! Right now in Parksville, wildfire smoke levels are at a VERY HIGH health risk.
This means dogs should not be exercised outdoors. Smoke affects pets just like humans, causing coughing, breathing problems, eye irritation, and fatigue.
Protect your dog:
• Keep them indoors as much as possible
• Skip fetch, runs, and long walks
• Provide fresh water and clean air inside
• Watch for signs of distress: coughing, laboured breathing, weakness
If your dog shows any breathing difficulty, contact your vet immediately.
🐾 Let’s keep our furry friends safe until the air clears!
