Not all dogs will develop cancers or health problems from exposure to secondhand smoke; however, research shows that the chances of developing cancer are greater for dogs living in smoking environments compared to dogs from non-smoking environments. Long-nosed dogs have an increased risk compared to short- and medium-length-nosed dogs. The more smokers in your household, the higher your dog's risk of developing smoking-related cancers, as well as lung infections, respiratory problems, asthma, and other dog health problems.
Your Smoking and your Dog Research shows that the chances of your canine friend developing cancer are greater if they live in smoking households compared to dogs from non-smoking households. The more people that smoke in the household, the higher your dogs risk of cancer and other respiratory problems.
