Mold is not only deadly for our homes and health but also for our pets. Many people think about the negative effects that mold can have on their home and health but they never think about what it could be doing to their pets. Mold gives off toxins that cause damage to cells in the body regardless of whether it is a human body or not.
Mold has been known to kill pets who are exposed to it and contributes to the weakening of their immune systems. The toxins that are inherent in mold are ingested by the animal either when it eats it, touches it, or breathes it in. This can cause the liver to become damaged and allow for other issues with the immune system such as the inability for blood to clot.
You will notice an array of symptoms in your pet if they are exposed to mold for long enough. Some of these symptoms seem like they could even be related to other conditions if you are unaware that your pet has come into contact with mold. These symptoms include but are not limited to:
The first thing to do would be to take care of your pet. Make sure they get to a veterinarian as quickly as possible so they can run tests and check your pet to make sure that there isn’t more harm from the mold that you are unable to detect. Your veterinarian will give you instructions to follow in treating your pet for mold exposure and how to help detox it from their body.
The second thing that you’re going to want to do is have your home checked and treated for mold. Since your pet spends most of its time in and around your home there is a high possibility that the mold is growing there. This means that it will also eventually start to affect your health and damage your home if it is left unchecked. The best thing to do is call a certified mold remediation company like Water Damage Zone who can easily inspect your home and remove the mold problem for good.

If you’ve read any of our other blogs you know how vile mold can be and how difficult it is to remove completely from your home. Mold is usually found on the backing of carpets where people don’t see it until it has become too big of a problem to handle on their own. Moisture in your carpet is only part of the problem. This article will help you understand the other ways in which carpets provide a safe haven for mold.
Studies have been down that give us a better picture of how mold actually develops inside of carpets in our homes. What these studies found is that the amount of moisture doesn’t have as big of an impact on mold growth in carpets. The thing that really creates big problems with mold is dirt becoming trapped inside of the carpet. The dirtier the carpets are, the more likely they are to begin growing and spreading mold around your home.
Keeping your carpeting clean will help you greatly in reducing the chances of mold developing in your home. Even carpeting that is exposed to humidity will not develop mold as long as it is clean. This means that you must keep your carpets clean all the time so that mold isn’t allowed to begin to grow. Dirt will attract moisture and soak it up, thus allowing any mold spores the nutrients they need to begin to grow.
It’s a good idea to research the ways in which you can prevent mold from growing in your carpets. One of the easiest ways is to not put carpet in areas with a lot of foot traffic because these areas will develop the most dirt and moisture. These two factors are all a carpet needs in order to become a center for mold growth in your own home. Make sure that you keep the humidity down low in your home, that way moisture won’t build up as much in the dirt that is in your carpets. Finally, the best way to prevent mold growth in your carpet is to vacuum it consistently at least twice a week so that dirt doesn’t have the chance to build up in your home.
Don’t wait for mold to become a problem, but if it does always be aware of home restoration companies like Water Damage Zone, who are certified in mold remediation and can help prevent your home from becoming a breeding ground for mold.
