The heavy pollution resulting from the recent and ongoing fires in the southland pose a risk to people and pets with respiratory problems.  Cats with asthma and brachycephalic or snub nosed breed dogs and cats are at risk.  Keep your pets inside and keep the a/c running. Change your filters if they have not been changed in the last 90 days. Do not exercise your pets until the air quality improves. 
If you pet appears to have labored breathing, bring them in for immediate attention.
