Question
They have told me if you inhale dog hair it may go to your lungs and cause some serious problems. Is this true? I own a pet chihuahua and sleep with her every night. Please get back at me.Thanks.

Answer
Hi Jackie,

Inhaling ANY hair into your lungs wouldn't be a good experience. Hair just doesn't belong in the lungs!
Besides, you'd probably choke on the hair before it even got into your lungs.

That's one less thing for you to worry about.

Best of luck,
Patti
