I noticed that when I vaped around a family dog its eyes reddened and it was licking its paws and rubbing its eyes on the paws. Have you seen this with dogs or other pets?
Vaping around pet dog seems to affect its eyes, ditto?

Don't have a dog but when I vape around my cousins dog (it's a mixed breed) he seems fine. I would see a vet and ask him/her their opinion. It might have an allergy to pg or vg not sure.
I've read that cats can be adversely affected to PG, but nothing about dogs. I have a small dog and cat, both with different health issues, so this is a big concern of mine as well.
I haven't personally, but its certainly possible that vapor and its components could be considered an irritant to humans or pets.
Some people are sensitive or even allergic to Pg (propylene glycol). My brother has environmental allergies, a super keen sense of smell, and claims that my vaping adversely affects his allergies. I have to respect that being that we share a home. I either vape outside or inside my bedroom with the door always closed.
I know from having a parrot back in the day, that they have an extremely sensitive respiratory system. My avian vet warned about not exposing my parrot to smoke or commercial aerosol products, and to especially not expose it to a burning Teflon-coated pan which would release a toxic gas which could kill it instantly.

I vape around my animals (dog and cat) and haven’t noticed any adverse reactions in the last year and a half. I don’t make giant clouds or cloud up the room though. You may have to alter your behavior and not vape around your dog if it is bothering them.
I vaped around my cat. He was allergic so I put him down. I miss that cat. I miss grandma too. Same situation but grandma put up more of a fight at the end.
I have 2 cats and neither seem bothered by it. Again as others have said, I don't blow huge clouds and I always try to blow away from them, and never directly at them. It could also potentially be something in the flavor(s) you use that is causing the irritant.
Not sure about pets but some people are allergic. I could be vaping in my car in a parking lot and someone walks by looks at me and starts coughing.
I feel so bad for the ones that get those dang arm spasms !
Blue and Gold Macaw, Goffin's Cockatoo, 2 cats...my vaping never caused them health issues.
Anything with cinnamon in it be it the bakery type or the hot type will irritate my eyes.
Doesn't affect my dog or cats.
One cat and one dog. Dog doesn't give a flip but a nice cloud will get the cat off my desk.
i avoid vaping around my cats and dog, but when it happens they don't seem too bothered.
I am stealing this.

My son's dog LOVES it, she'll creep closer as I make flavors, LOL. Of course, she was a former smoker, so she enjoyed my smoking even more. Constant struggle to keep her from eating cigarette butts.
That dog and I have a lot in common: we both have addictive tendencies, love my kid, and are pleasant natured... Until we turn feral at the drop of a hat. LOL.
I think the kid's dog may be smarter than me, though. Just sayin'.
But yes, I've heard some beasts can be affected. I don't own a cat as I am allergic to THEM. I don't love cats so much any more, after having owned a succession of strange/interesting/weird other animals.
If my son still had his ferret, I would perform vaping experiments in the hopes I could get it to LEAVE, permanently, LOL.

Yea I go with the massive clouds, lots of VG(vegetable glycerin) and whatever else may be contained in product. Noticed some people are respiratorily sensitive too. Hence, I no longer do it in public or around certain people or animals that react negatively.

I've vaped around three dogs and a cat. I never blew vapor directly at them. None have had any issues with it that I ever noticed. Most of the time they checked out the clouds, decided they were OK (maybe decided nothing was on fire
), and pretty much ignored them after that.It wouldn't surprise me too much to find out that an animal is allergic to something in my juice, or that a person is. I would not expose them to my vape after that.
Allergic reaction to second hand vapor has to be really, really, rare, or we would all know about it.
I make sure that I’m not blowing any vape in the direction of my 2 dogs and cat and towards the air purifier only.
