Wildfire season has become an unfortunate reality for many families in Northern California, including their pets. At Oroville Animal Health Center in Oroville, California, we know many pet owners worry about the effects of wildfire smoke on their pets, especially during stretches of poor air quality throughout Butte County.

Even if your home doesn’t appear smoky indoors, tiny airborne particles from nearby fires can still make their way inside through doors, windows, vents, and air conditioning systems. Because pets have sensitive respiratory systems and spend so much time close to the ground where particles settle, smoke exposure can affect them more than many owners realize.
