Is it really easy to help dogs prevent smog with masks?

When the smog came, we saw that many owners chose to wear masks for dogs. Although this is like a joke, it can help the dog block a certain amount of dust. We suggest that dogs should not be taken out in foggy days, but if you must go out, wearing a mask is undoubtedly a good choice.

First of all, the real mask

With the expansion of the influence of smog and the gradual enhancement of people's awareness of respiratory health protection, the sales of masks and other related products have been driven to rise rapidly. The popularity of respiratory health care products has also spawned a large number of "cottage" brands. The experiment found that although the "high imitation" mask has a certain blocking effect on fine particles, the effect is not obvious, fine particles can still pass through the mask, and the "high imitation" mask can not effectively protect people's respiratory health.

Some experts said that although "high imitation" inferior masks can prevent dust from entering the respiratory system to a certain extent, inferior masks generally have a pungent smell, and the volatile chemical gases they carry will cause harm to the human body. Not only that, inferior masks usually do not have antibacterial properties, and it is easy to form a natural bacterial "Petri dish" when worn for too long, which is a huge hidden danger to people's respiratory health system.

Second, the precautions for dog masks

The mask used by dogs must not be too big, otherwise it will not achieve the effect of blocking dust. In order to make the dog adapt, you can try on the dog at home first, and don't choose a mask that is too thick. When wearing a mask, you must always pay attention to whether the dog has difficulty breathing. If you are short of breath, please take off your mask in time. Masks worn by dogs should be cleaned and replaced frequently to avoid breeding bacteria.

Finally, although the dog is wearing a mask, don't stay outdoors for a long time, so as not to affect the health of the dog.
