Dr Grace Butler With the current fire situation and numerous bushfires surrounding our area, Canberra has been seeing a lot of smoke haze blowing in (and sometimes not blowing out). During the past few weeks the air quality has been horrendous and with more than 130 fires still blazing around NSW, there will likely be ongoing smoke. Not only does this smoke play a significant role in our own health, but our pets are also at risk of smoke inhalation and consequential damages.
