How can a gasping dog transform into a well dog?

Dogs are more affected by air pollution than human beings. Besides, they cannot communicate about their illness. That increases the risk of things getting out of hand soon. While vehicular smoke is the most harmful, there are other kinds of smoke that affect them too. Dogs have a higher breathing rate, pollutants like carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide enter their bodies more. Where both traffic and pollution are on the rise, taking your pet out for a walk is cumbersome and might affect your pooch’s health.
Symptoms
Coughing or gagging, difficulty in breathing (including open-mouth breathing and increased noise while breathing), eye irritation, excessive watering, inflammation of throat or mouth, nasal discharge, asthma-like symptoms and increased breathing rates are common. We can wear masks and stay indoors to avoid outdoor pollution. Pets don’t have that option. So it is our duty to save them from pollution.”
Remedies
If your dog experiences any of these symptoms, it is advisable to take him/her to the vet immediately. A dog would need some amount of daily exercise. While most experts suggest daily walks, it is counter-effective and even harmful for the dog to exercise now that the pollution level is so high. The water intake must be increased during this time to flush out pollutants from their bodies. Besides, pet owners must not take their dogs for a walk during the peak office hours or when the pollution level and smoke are high.
