Animals get sick from second hand vape/

[therealcmac]

Hey guys, i am just curious if anyone has noticed their pets getting sick or acting different while in the room you are vaping in? Is this even a possibility? My little minpin has been sick lately, but when i am gone to work she seems to perk up and feel better then back to being miserable when i am home vaping, maybe she just doesnt like me lol I am wondering if breathing it in may be harmful for her.....

I read in another thread that PG can be harmful to cats but not dogs. I'm not a vet so I couldn't say for sure. I would have to assume it's definitely better than cigarette smoke though. There may be some other underlying issues with your dog. I have a cat and 2 dogs, none of them are bothered by my vaping.

My dogs don't like it, nor did they like cigar smoke. Then again I don't vape in the house, only in the garage or outside. Reason being if my Jeep windows film up, I don't want that hanging on the walls or finding its way into all my electronics.

i have 4 cats and a dog (english mastiff) and they dont get sick or act diffrent around my vaping... even my cat lays on my chest while im vaping lol dosnt seem to bother him near as much as the cig's did.

All my pets have died since starting ecigs.

Just kidding, we have dogs and cats in the house, and never an issue! I agree that whatever vape they inhale has to be much beter then a smoky place!

I wouldn't worry!

I have 2 little dogs that hang out with me constantly whenever I am home they are at my heels. They don't seem to have any issues at all when I vape.


Last cigarette 16th October, 2011. Forever grateful for the support and advice from ECF.

My cat is fascinated by my vaping. She likes to smell my attys/cartos. I vape mostly PG as well. I don't blow it in her face but she will sometimes jump up on something and stick her nose in the cloud. She's pretty stupid though.

That's what my cat does, he actually likes the vape He will follow it and stick his face right in it. I do make my own and go light on the flavoring.

Have to look into that pg vs cats thing now .... ....



OT ~ I thought vaping didn't leave a film?? Guess I'll have to vape into a mirror/glass and find out once and for all...

I found the thread I was referring to.

Cat likes tuna and my dog jerky...

Just like humans they can indeed be sensitive to vape, either PG or VG. We do need to remember that although vaping is a safer alternative, I wouldn't qualify it as safe, just safer.

Thanks for the link modrod. I started getting worried but no ones pets seem to have any issues. Just common sense not to blow vape in to their little faces. I do love my 3 babies.

My dogs don't like my vaping, either. But I don't vape in the house anymore because I also noticed that I have a film build up on my car windows. Don't know if it affects them-but not going to take the chance.

 

[cactusgirl]

My cat never seemed to mind the vapor when he was here (passed away last month) and my dog doesn't seem to mind it either. That said though, just like there are people with environmental sensitivites, I would imagine that pets could have sensitivities to different substances as well.

 

[doots]

I have 9 cats and 2 dogs.. None seem to be affected at all.. It has been 3 years I have been vaping around them.
Crack a window if you are concerned. I dont see any changes in them at all.. All my critters are well.. and happy

For what it's worth we have three cats. They all hate cigarette smoke and won't stay around it, but are pretty indifferent around vapor unless I'm vaping a pungent flavour they don't care for. It's mostly mints and menthols they don't like, which I don't think cats like in general. (Except catnip, which is a member of the mint family, but that's real stuff, not simulated. And anyway I haven't found a catnip vape. )

Haha, you should give your cats a cameo in your next video review!

Well, I did say in one of my videos that one of these days I was just going to put one of them in front of the camera and let them do the review. The tricky part will be getting one to hold the PV...
