Seven harms of smog to dogs
Pomeranian (details)

In the season of frequent smog, the probability of human respiratory tract infection increases. For dogs, the harm of smog to their bodies is not only as simple as infecting respiratory tract, but also causes the following injuries to dogs. Owners should pay attention to protection.

< strong > First, the upper respiratory tract infection is frequent < /strong >

In the haze, there are a lot of dust and toxic substances floating in the air. Once inhaled, it will irritate the respiratory mucosa and destroy its defense ability. Bacteria enter the respiratory tract and easily cause upper respiratory tract infection. Common respiratory symptoms such as cough, snot and dyspnea occur. The symptoms of senile dogs with senile cardiopulmonary disease will be obviously aggravated.

< strong > second, inducing lung cancer < /strong >

The lung is the core organ of breathing and an important place for the exchange between the body and the atmosphere. It is relatively isolated from the outside world and spotless. Once the finer particles enter the bronchioles and lungs more deeply, they will cause the obstruction of lung ventilation, and will seriously cause the substantial pathological changes of the lungs, which can't be recovered. This will lead to pneumonia and even lung cancer for a long time.

< strong > Third, viral infectious diseases raged < /strong >

Haze mostly occurs in autumn and winter, when the temperature drops, which is the peak period of canine distemper and canine parvovirus infection. When the weather is smoggy, the wind speed is low and the air pressure is low, which inhibits the horizontal and vertical diffusion of pollutants, and at the same time, makes the virus not easy to be blown away, enhances its activity, and greatly increases the possibility of dogs being infected.

< strong > IV. Hair damage < /strong >

Dust particles and toxic substances suspended in the air will not only be inhaled into the respiratory tract, but also adhere to the body surface. Hair that has been exposed for a long time has become the carrier of shelter evil people and practices, and the nutrition of hair wrapped by harmful substances is lost, so it is prone to dryness. Toxic substances adhere to scalp for a long time, and even enter hair follicles through pores, causing damage to hair follicles. Dogs with skin history are also prone to relapse.

< strong > five, cause conjunctivitis < /strong >

Particles in the haze air adhere to the eyes, which may cause keratitis and conjunctivitis, resulting in dryness, redness and tears.

< strong > 6. Puppy's skeletal development is blocked < /strong >

Severe haze weather, darkness, the appearance of haze will weaken the ultraviolet radiation. If you are in smog weather continuously, the weakening of sunlight will affect the synthesis of vitamin D in your body, leading to a high incidence of rickets in puppies.

< strong > VII. It's easy to get scared and bite < /strong >

The weather is gray, and the visual distance is greatly reduced. It is more difficult for dogs with underdeveloped vision to see the situation in their surroundings than usual, so their vigilance rises, and they bark a little bit. Especially in the areas where outdoor stray dogs are concentrated, the incidence of biting and car accidents is greatly increased.
