What should dogs pay attention to in smog weather?

The smog hit, and pet dogs have indeed been affected to a certain extent. In recent days, more dog owners have taken their dogs to see a doctor than usual. Dogs mainly have cough symptoms. On average, one or two dogs come to see a doctor a day, but in recent days, the number has doubled due to the poor air quality recently.

Dogs have no nose hair, so when they breathe, they mainly rely on the cilia on the trachea to filter impurities in the air, but that effect is minimal. An industry insider said that compared with humans, dogs are actually more susceptible to smog days. After staying in the smog for a long time, dogs' respiratory tracts are very susceptible to infection, which causes symptoms such as coughing and colds. Experts said that in winter, some owners will put on clothes for dogs with less hair in order to keep their dogs cold. After walking the dog home, it is best to take off and clean the clothes and shoes worn by the dog in time. For example, those dogs with a lot of fur and don’t wear clothes can dust them after going home and clean their dogs regularly, but do not be too frequent, as it will be bad for the dog’s fur. Generally, in winter, just wash it once or twice a month. Usually, just use warm water to wipe the specific parts of the dog, such as the mouth, eyes, foot pads, etc.
