The Truth about Mould: The Dangers of Mould Exposure in Pets

While the pragmatic impact of mould removal in Queensland for the family members in your home is quite known, most of us do not pay heed to the impact of mould on our four-legged companions. You might not know that mould exposure can be as dangerous to our pets as to us, sometimes even more than that. While there are only a few truly toxic species of mould seen around, the types detected during the mould testing can make your furry friend severely ill.

What Are the Dangers of Structural Mould for Pets?

While we are more familiar with the negative impacts of mould on humans, we don’t often discuss how it affects the pets in our house. It is most likely that our pets spend their maximum lifespan in the same environment, thus, are more prone to get affected by the compounding and magnifying issues of mould growth.

Now, your pets can be exposed to mould in several ways. Like humans, pets also breathe in mould spores which directly affect their respiratory system. Moulds can also get into their skin which may trap spores and make it more critical for the pet to get rid of. Sometimes, they can accidentally ingest the mould spores that cause significant difficulties within their gastrointestinal tract.

Symptoms of Mould Exposure in Your Pets:

Some of the most usual and familiar signs and symptoms of mould exposure in pets include:

• Skin sores
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting
• Excessive licking or scratching
• Wheezing or rapid breathing
• Nasal discharge
• Sneezing

How to Keep Your Pet Safe from Mould-Induced Illness?

If your home is affected by mould, so is your pet and it can be extremely difficult to detect the issue and their unwellness since you can exactly ask them how they’re feeling. Now, if you suspect that there’s structural mould growth in your residence, the first step that you should take is to look for a professional mould remediation service. At Restosure, we conduct a comprehensive indoor and outdoor mould testing to detect and identify the area that requires special attention.

Some quick tips that you may follow to keep your pets safe are:

• Eliminate the toys and bedding materials that you think are affected by potential mould growth.
• Make sure that all pet foods are sealed and kept in an air-tight container.
• Always try to keep your pets away from any visible mould growth. Besides being sick, they may inadvertently cause the scenario worse by spreading spores on their furs or paws.
• Book an appointment with the professional mould removal company in Queensland if you witness any such growth in your surroundings.
