🐾 How Mold Affects Pets

Mold doesn’t just harm people — it can seriously hurt dogs, cats, rabbits, and all indoor animals. Many pet owners don’t realize that the same toxic air making us sick is also damaging our pets’ health — often even faster.

   ⚠️ Long-Term Mold Exposure in Pets Can Cause:

• Breathing problems (wheezing, coughing, labored breathing)

• Neurological issues (seizures, shaking, disorientation)

• Chronic vomiting or diarrhea

• Loss of appetite and sudden weight loss

• Organ failure (especially liver or kidneys)

• Sudden or unexplained death

Pets are especially vulnerable because they’re closer to the ground, where mold spores settle. They breathe in contaminated air, lick the floors and walls, and absorb toxins through their skin and paws — all day, every day.

 ⚠️  Often Misdiagnosed

Most vets don’t recognize mold exposure right away.

Many pets are diagnosed with:

• “Food allergies”

• “Respiratory infections”

• “Sensitive stomachs”

• or vague explanations like “stress” or “old age”

But these symptoms only started after living in mold-infested units — and they often return even after treatments, because the source (mold) remains.

We’ve experienced this firsthand — and we’re not alone.

🗣️   This Has Happened to Our Neighbors Too

When we lived at the unit next door, a neighbor lost her pet rabbit unexpectedly.

She later lost her cat too — both while living in the same mold-infested building.

Multiple tenants have reported pets getting sick, declining in health, or dying without warning. The landlord continues to ignore the connection to mold, dismissing it as coincidence — but the pattern is clear.

We already lost one of our pets. Others are now suffering. This isn’t just a human issue. Mold is silently harming the most innocent members of our families — and landlords don’t want to take responsibility.
