I understand that if smoke hurts humans, it will hurt dogs as well. Here's my situation.
I've been living with a few friends and am now going back home to live with my parents, who smoke constantly. Every time I take the dog to visit them for around 2+ hours, she just lays down and doesn't really want to do much and she'll sometimes throw up. I'm wondering if it's from the smoke since there isn't anything else there that would make her sick and lose energy. But since I'm moving back in with them, I'm worried it'll make her sick even more. We used to live there before, when my dog was younger and she seemed fine. But since she's lived in a non smoke environment I'm worried the smoke will really effect her.
We'll be visiting non smoker's homes quite often as well and I'm also worried the constant back and forth to smoke and non smoke will hurt her.
Any thoughts, suggestions, experiences?
Thank you.
**EDIT: If there's anything at all I can do to help, medicine or anything that might calm a dog's sick stomach don't hesitate to let me know!
***********I'll also be buying a smoke air filter for the house or at least my room to hopefully help her.
@redone I'm not stupid. I know that the smoke will overall hurt her. Read the first sentence in my post at least before you answer with something so sarcastic. I'm asking if the constant going to and from will hurt her MORE and if she'll just constantly be sick or not feeling well.
@Lizzie: I don't really have that option, but it can be found if it's absolutely necessary. I'll be buying an air filter for the smoke and placing it in our room, maybe that will make a difference?
@Sisu: The problem isn't in the car. She's always been amazing in the car and never has gotten sick. I'm worried about the back and forth of going from non smoking, getting used to that and plunged back into the smoking house. But I'm hoping maybe with an air filter it'll help??
