Vaping around your pets

[OMG!]

Has anyone found any issues with your pets since you started vaping? I have four cats and wouldn't want them getting sick or anything.

I used to smoke in the garage and they would come hang out there with me (until it got too smokey) so I know they are pretty tough. It's amazing how much better they smell now that I've quit smoking.

I have had issues. My great dane wants to eat my Inferno. Especially when I'm smoking the atomic cyanide. If I get to close to him, he starts sniffing the air and comes straight for it. Maybe I'll get him one a little further down the line.....when they start making them too big for him to swallow.

Since I gave up analogs totally ( was smokin 5 or 6 a day for a year or so) my dog loves the vapor. He chases it sniffs at it doesn't seem to bother him. Now if someone smokes a analog in my house he barks and barks and barks lol. Guesss he made his choice. He is only alittle over a year and my 8 yr old cat could care less

I've got dogs, and they used to stray away when I lit up....they hated the smoke. But now they chill with me on the couch, and dont even move. They seemed reluctant at first cause it looks the same, but they investigated and sniffed then hopped back up!
I'm so glad I've got my pets approval!! lol

My cat seems to be fascinated by the vapor clouds and watches them drift. If he gets into the vapor it does not seem to bother him at all. He used to hate the smoke when I was still using analogs.

I have one cat and one dog. I have not noticed any issues with them and vaping. I cannot see how there would be. Has to be better for them than analog smoke.

I notice that they do not shun me as much as with vaping as they did with smoking, my cat hated cigarettes, (smart cat)

My pets are older and fairly sedate, so they don't meddle much, but one concern for those with more adventurous, nosey pets would be to be sure and safeguard your supplies as ingestion by mouth by a pet could be very dangerous, perhaps even deadly.

I have 1 dog and 3 cats. They would scatter when I lit up before I started vaping. Now they don't even twitch, let alone move when I vape. I take it on faith that it means vaping is healthier for them, just it is heathier for me. I believe they would leave the room if it was unpleasant for them to inhale it.

pretty much the same here. 3 cats, 2 dogs, they don't care when I'm vaping and used to run away from cigarette smoke.

i wouldn't go blowin pg based liquid into a cats' face just to be on the safe side. Felines can get heinz body disease. (i think it's a kind of anemia) from pg absorption but there are some that say it should be ok if they are not directly ingesting it

I noticed this too!! My dogs wouldn't come near me after smoking. Vaping doesn't seem to bother them at all.

We probably don't realize how bad the analog smoke was on our pets. Their system is
so much more sensitive than ours and with the limited life span, any 2nd hand smoke
that they received really hurt them more than we probably imagine.
But with that said....my dog use to sneeze when I would smoke in the house or when
I would give him some "oh what a cute boy" near his face and my breath would make
him sneeze as well. (sounds yucky but true..smokers breath I guess) I would
litterly have to go ouside or open doors and windows to stop his sneezing.
Now days....he lays in my lap and sleeps and does not sneeze and when I give
him the little kisses....he kisses back!
Lordy, I think I need to get out more often. Any single vapers out there????? Oldies???

at first my cat would squint her eyes at the vapor thinking it was smoke, now she sticks her nose up and smells the flavor......

We have 2 cats and one dog. When I was upstairs a couple days ago, I was vaping RY4 and my daughter's dog was lapping at the vapor! I guess she liked it. And neither of the cats seems to mind it at all.

Our cat is around us A LOT more now, she is more active and generally seems rather pleased to not be breathing smoke anymore. She used to yell at me and run away if she was near me when I exhaled smoke. Now she doesn't even seem to notice much.

But yes, PG is toxic to cats, from what I have read only if the ingest it. I keep everything away from her, and I don't blow it in her face or vape too much if she is next to me.

My dogs love it. They are the same way about sniffing the air. I just don't want to turn them into addicts. If I notice my dogs being easily irritated in the mornings, or shakey if they haven't got a whif lately, I'll have to cut them off!

I don't know if vaping is in any way bothering my dog. She does not run away if I am vaping, she did when I smoked. That can be not to my advantage, lol.

I must say though, that I have had one rabbit lived to 15 die of cancer, one rat, one mouse, several birds, and well the fish who knows, that was back in the fish tank days.

My dog does have lumps, that I fear are b/c of my smoking, but others have told me that do not smoke that their dogs got lumps too.

My dog does not react to the aroma of vaping, but hated the smoking. So, unless I start vaping the "baby back ribs" or "peppered jerky" that are out there, I may never know. Food is God to my dog. She will not react to sweet, sour, bitter, but meat, you bet ya'. Am I gonna try those flavors? No, don't know how much food I can vape, nor how my dog will react or lick me to death for it!

 

[Lauralie]

My dog isn't bothered by it at all but I am very careful to not let him lick my hands or anything until I wash them because I think I have heard nicotine can kill dogs and cats. I know it's diluted in e-juice but I don't want to take any chances!

 

[Java_Az]

My dog could care less but my cat will watch the clouds of vapor. Every now and then he will go up to some vapor sniffing at it. Once he snorts some in he jumps up and takes off like a bat outa hell. I think it is the menthol since 98% of the time i am vaping fire and ice.

My dogs ignore them, but the nic hurting them is my single fear about vaping. My hubby and I do everything possible to keep the liquids from them, especially the various paper towels used for opening tank carts, blowing out tank attys, etc. But even though they are smaller dogs, they are so smart and so savvy and at times gave managed to get their mouth and paws onto things they reasonably could not have gotten (and one of them has a special love for anything that can be shredded, like paper towels that might smell like a sweet treat :-/ ). It may sound silly to some, but I just could not live with myself if something happened to them because of something I did or failed to do. Since we are human and thus not perfect, I cannot help but to worry.

Beez, glad I could add to the thread just below you - what type of dog is that there in your avatar? VERY CUTE. Well, I have 3dogs 4 cats 2 birds and 6 horses. I really don't think there has been a big reaction from most of them - they all were very used to my smoking but one, my main horse. He absolutely HATED smoking and he made that very clear to me and never tolerated it. He has not reacted to the vaping though, he was suspicious when I first did it around him but does tolerate it now - no problem at all.
