No smoking near pets

It isn’t just humans who are made ill by cigarette smoke, pets can suffer too.  Being in proximity to nicotine can severely affect their health and increase their risk of cancer.

We can choose to smoke, pets have no choice if someone in their family lights up near them.  We’ve known of dogs who have died of throat cancer having lived in households where their owners have smoked.

The chemicals from cigarettes lodge in carpets and furniture and pets, living at floor level, are in close contact with them.  Keeping your home cigarette smoke free is the best way to protect pets from harm.
