Wildfire Smoke Threatens Pets and People | Boise News
Description
Boise’s air is dangerously hazy from wildfire smoke, hitting “very unhealthy” levels — everyone should stay indoors, especially those with lung or heart conditions, kids, and seniors. Even healthy folks should avoid heavy exertion. The smoke’s tiny particles become more toxic as they travel, irritating eyes, throat, and lungs — and posing serious risks for those with pre-existing conditions. Pets and livestock aren’t immune: dogs with breathing issues and flat-faced breeds, plus birds, are especially vulnerable. Watch for coughing, breathing trouble, or fatigue in animals — call your vet if you notice symptoms. Keep pets and livestock indoors, ensure fresh water, and give them extra rest — recovery can take weeks even after the smoke clears.
