Vet recommends keeping pets away from smoke
Pets should not be exposed to the smoke blanketing Prince Albert, according to one Prince Albert veterinarian.
Peter Surkan, a veterinarian at Park Range Veterinary Services, said some breeds of dogs and cats are more sensitive to smoke than other breeds.
“Like your English Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, or ones with a shortened nasal passage, your pugs and those families of dogs” he said.
Surkan said these breeds of dogs have a harder time filtering the smoke, and he added that some breeds of cats are equally susceptible to asthma.
