Pet Allergies and Air Pollution: Symptoms, Prevention, and Expert Care Tips

🌍🐾 Did you know that air pollution isn’t just a threat to humans, but also a growing concern for our pets? Many pet owners are unaware of the link between polluted air and the rise in pet allergies, affecting our furry friends in ways you might not expect. 😷 From respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing to skin irritations and behavioral changes, polluted air can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms. In today’s video, we’ll explore how pollution impacts your pet’s health 🐕‍🦺, how to spot the signs early 👀, and share expert tips on how to protect your pet 🐾 and keep them comfortable despite poor air quality.

Common symptoms of pet allergies😿🐕‍🦺 caused by polluted air:

A) 💨🌫️Respiratory Issues: Sneezing, coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing may indicate airborne irritants affecting the lungs or airways.

B) Skin Irritation: Excessive scratching, redness, dry patches, or hair loss are often early indicators of contact with pollutants.

C) 👀Eye and Nasal Discharge: Watery, red eyes and a runny nose can result from exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and chemical pollutants.

D) 🐕‍🦺Behavioural Changes: Lethargy, reduced appetite, or increased anxiety may be signs of discomfort caused by poor air quality. ✂️🐾

Grooming tips or practices to reduce irritation and protect pets from pollutants:

1. Frequent Brushing: Removes dust and pollutants trapped in the fur. Use a soft-bristle brush to avoid irritating the skin.

2. 🧹Wiping Down: Use a damp, hypoallergenic cloth to wipe your pet’s coat and paws after walks to prevent allergens from entering the home.

3. 🧼Bathing: Regular baths with mild, moisturising pet shampoos help remove pollutant residues without stripping natural oils. Avoid over-bathing, as it may dry out the skin.

4. 💧Hydration: Ensure pets have access to clean water, which supports healthy skin and fur from the inside out.

5. Protective Clothing: For short-haired pets, consider lightweight coats to minimise pollutant contact during outdoor activities.
