Dogs are just like humans in that exposure to second-hand or third-hand smoke can have a harmful effect on the lungs, from an increased risk of cancer to harmful respiratory problems.
Second-hand smoke is the smoke that is exhaled and which can be inhaled by non-smokers. Third-hand smoke is the smoke residue that sticks to the skin, hair coat, clothes, furniture, carpet, etc. even long after the air has been cleared. Both these types are classified as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).
One of the most serious effects of ETS exposure in dogs is an increased risk of respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Long-nosed dog breeds also have higher risks of developing nasal cancer when exposed to high ETS. Cigarette smoke contains many toxic chemicals that are responsible for serious respiratory issues in exposed pets.
Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your vet hospital Aurora, CO.
