Mold exposure can indeed be a concern for both humans and pets, including your dogs, Stella and Smoke. Although dogs can be affected by mold, the symptoms might not always be immediately apparent. Here are some steps you can take to help protect them:
Firstly, it's important to limit their exposure to mold. Try to keep Stella and Smoke away from any areas where mold is present. If possible, confine them to a part of your home that is mold-free until you can address the issue.
Improving air quality is also crucial. Consider using air purifiers with HEPA filters to help reduce mold spores in the air. Additionally, ensure your home is well-ventilated by opening windows and using fans to circulate fresh air.
Keep an eye on your dogs for any signs of respiratory issues, such as coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing. Also, be alert for skin irritation or any other unusual symptoms.
Maintaining a clean environment is essential. Regularly clean your dogs' bedding and toys to prevent mold growth, using pet-safe cleaning products to ensure their safety.
It's also important to ensure that Stella and Smoke are well-hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support their immune system.
While you're working on removing the mold, it might be beneficial to consult a professional mold remediation service to ensure the process is done safely and effectively.
If you notice any concerning symptoms in your dogs, such as persistent coughing, lethargy, or any unusual behavior, I recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can provide specific guidance and check for any health issues related to mold exposure.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
