Bathtub reglazed in studio. Is my dog safe from chemical fumes?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think if you keep Bailey out of the room during the hair dying process, use good ventilation and then do not allow her back in that room until the smell is gone if good enough. I can't imagine her coughing from just smelling your hair so I do not think you need to avoid her. Have a great day!

Most chemicals include warnings against breathing in the fumes, even inadvertently, as they typically recommend that they are only used in well-ventilated areas. If you can smell the fumes from these chemicals in your laundry room, it's likely that Timo is also breathing them in. Different chemicals can cause different toxicities, but most/all can cause some problems, particularly if they are inhaled on a regular basis. As long as you are certain that Timo could not have ingested or touched any of the chemicals, is eating, drinking and acting normally, without any coughing or breathing concerns, you shouldn't need to seek out emergency veterinary care at this time. (Obviously, if he is doing any of those things, emergency veterinary care is needed urgently!) Otherwise, be sure to remove these chemicals from the laundry room so that they are stored in an area where no one (Timo or a person) can breathe in these fumes.

Hi, from your description if the events I also think your dog should be fine. However I would keep an eye on him over the next 8-12 hours, make sure he is eating, drinking and not having any different symptoms when breathing.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think it will be fine if you leave the bathroom door open and turn the exhaust fan on. You can also use a fan to blow the steam out or just pull the kiddie pool out when people shower. I wish you the best!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Asbestos is dangerous to dogs as much as for human. Chronic exposure can lead to development of a malignant tumor. However, a single exposure to one piece of asbestos will not be harmful and your Bailey will be fine.

I wouldn't worry too much. Bleach residue would at-most cause irritation to her skin or mucous membranes. As long as she's not in a heavily bleached room, the fumes would not be enough to cause any problems. Once bleach dries, it is rather safe and I would not worry about having her in the parts of the house where the bleach was. Large dog kennels at places like shelters and veterinary clinics are routinely cleaned with bleach without incident. I would only be worried if she drank bleach. I hope that helps to at-least give some relief and all is well with Emma.

Similar to humans, fumes can be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. If the ventilation was appropriate enough that you were comfortable then likely your dog was too. If you were wearing a mask then your dog probably should not be in that area. Watch for any coughing or difficulty breathing. If this occurs then I would encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she does well. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
