Protect your pets from poor air quality – keep them indoors!
If you are feeling the effects of the poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke, chances are your pets are, too.
Vaughan Animal Services is recommending you keep your elderly dogs, flat-faced dogs and cats, and domestic birds indoors as much as possible. Only let your dogs outside for short periods of time, if needed. Make sure they have plenty of water to keep them hydrated.
