Our state and many other areas are dealing with wildfire smoke. Here are some symptoms to watch for in the animals in your life who may be sensitive. Stay safe everyone!!

With wildfire smoke creating poor air quality across the U.S, the AVMA is reminding the public that wildfire smoke can pose serious health risks not only to people, but to pets and livestock as well.

Smoke from wildfires contains fine particles that can cause respiratory issues in animals, especially those with pre-existing heart or lung disease.
