#UsdanPetTips 🔥 A record-breaking number of wil

#UsdanPetTips 🔥 A record-breaking number of wildfires in the New York City area, fueled by exceptionally dry weather, have led to smoky conditions impacting air quality across the region. This doesn’t just affect us—it can take a toll on our pets as well. Animals are sensitive to smoke and air pollution, and they rely on us to keep them safe. During smoky conditions:

🐶 Limit outdoor time to quick relief walks. Avoid intense activity.
🪟 Close windows and doors to keep smoke out.
🦜 Birds are especially vulnerable and should not be allowed outside.
🫁 Older animals, pets with heart or respiratory conditions, and flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds like pugs and bulldogs may be more affected.
✅ Use a HEPA filter indoors to help reduce smoke and improve air quality for both you and your pet.
🚨 Contact your veterinarian if your pet shows signs like coughing, gagging, or wheezing.

Stay informed about air quality in your area by checking AirNow.gov
