Pets have a much more sensitive sense of smell and can be overwhelmed or irritated by scents that seem mild to us. Watch for the following symptoms, which can indicate respiratory irritation or potential poisoning:
  • Watery eyes, coughing, sneezing, or wheezing.
  • Excessive drooling or pawing at the mouth/face.
  • Vomiting or diarrhea.
  • Lethargy, weakness, or difficulty walking (uncoordinated gait).
  • Muscle tremors or unusual behavior changes.
If you notice any severe signs (difficulty breathing, seizures, collapse), consider it an emergency and contact a veterinarian or a pet poison hotline immediately.
