Recently Bill 77 was passed in Ontario which entailed making carbon monoxide detectors mandatory. This is no doubt a law that most people will not mind being in place. This odorless, tasteless and colorless gas can be a killer. There is no warning that carbon monoxide is present without the use of a quality and reliable detector. While our family is our main priority it mustn’t be forgotten that our family pets can suffer the same repercussions from this gas that we as humans do.
It all depends on how much exposure your pets are receiving to the carbon monoxide in respect to what symptoms they will display. They could be chronic or acute depending on the level exposure.
No doubt the acute symptoms will be noticeable immediately and you will know that immediate action has to be taken. In the chronic situation the symptoms could be mistaken for other pet related illnesses.
If you are following the new Ontario law that makes carbon monoxide detectors mandatory then you should be alerted that there are dangerous levels of this gas present and take the immediate action for both your family and pets to get outdoors.
Unfortunately many families are absent from the home during the day, while the pets remain at home alone. They are not going to be able to respond to the detector’s alert. You can prevent this from being a unfortunate mishap. You can contact your security provider and have them hook up at least one of your carbon monoxide detectors so it is being monitored. This way if the alert is activated the appropriate help can be dispatched.
