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 don't get the mix breed comment so do you mean a pure breed would react differently?

We enjoyed the companionship of 3 cats for 15 years before I started vaping.

2 1/2 years exposure to my vape and all are now gone. Coincidence?

But my wife seems to be getting along just fine with it so far.

17.5 years old is actually about right for lifespan of a cat. I lost one last year just after her 18th birthday.

I had a friend whose cat lived to be like 26 or something. I wouldn't want to pet it (he did clearly adore the creature) it looked mangy, on its last legs, and (this was a rich family) I believe I saw a med port attached to one of its legs, in between patches where the fur rubbed off....

It didn't look like a HAPPY cat though. I will admit that I dearly, dearly wanted to put it out of its misery (although it was not my cat, so I just "admired" it from a distance). LOL.

Pets reach a point of diminishing returns. I am entirely certain that cat had the BEST of medical care, it was when I was in HS and living in Potomac Maryland.... I am afraid I rejected both the advances of the cat, and my friend. Who also... well, you know those kids that are born old? Like, come to HS in a three piece suit? I'm afraid the cat and my brief date at the 4 seasons hotel (man, their high tea is excellent) were both, ultimately, rejected with extreme prejudice. LOL.

This kitty cat was clean & happy. Couldn't move too quickly, but otherwise super well. Not in misery at all. <3

My friend's cat lived to be 23.

Last I looked, the Guinness World Records listed 38 years as the oldest cat (I believe he was from Texas IIRC) but those ages are well beyond "average". Just like people. Sure a few live to 100+ but the average max age is more like 70's. Of course with cats, breeds, climate, care and such make a difference, but overall 15 is considered the all around average life expectancy for a cat. You're friend's cat was a bit beyond average.

I do not believe they vaccinated this cat regularly. Vaccines kill. But that's an entire bucket of worms I don't want to open.

    Some of these answers are weird.

    I don’t understand why the word ‘directly’ is being used. Which one of us is making a point of blowing vapor directly into a cat or dogs face?
    I’ve noticed that people don’t like that either...

    To answer the OP, vapor seems to bother neither my dogs or cats.

    Also, my cat seems to be less favourable of anything other than tobacco. Pungent fruity vapes seem to not sit so well.
    No, I don’t make a point of directing vaper into her face to find out, she goes and smells the mod or bottle and gets freaked out by flavour.

    Yeah, I have never blown ANYTHING directly into a pet's face. Nor have I tried to find out if my pet likes beer, or any other substances such as these. I don't get the people who do it. I figure a pet's life is hard enough without being roofied all the time, basically.

    Good pet owners don't let other pet owners roofie their pets. I will get up and leave, and when I saw my kid do it once, I sat him down for a serious "ethics" talk and how would he like to be inadvertently "changed" in consciousness without consent and desire. He doesn't do it (in my presence anyway) anymore.

    My old dog would follow people around my house and wait for them to set their beer bottles down, knock them over and drink their beer off of the floor. Same dog stole a bottle of strawberry soda out of my girlfriend's hand, ran into the back yard and chewed the cap off to enjoy himself a refreshing beverage. Miss that dog.

    Well, my son's dog is addicted to cigarette butts. She eats them, then pukes. The kid is desperate to get her to stop (he really loves/hates to bring her over here) because she will find SOMETHING, somewhere.

    LOL, if a rescue dog is THAT into smoking, I kind of say let her. But, I'm not about to GIVE a pet an addiction, I have enough trouble managing my own :lol::lol::lol:.

    Most dogs that have a taste for beer have already tasted it, or they're special, or something... LOL.
