Secondhand smoke can trigger a variety of diseases in dogs, with a
higher likelihood in certain breeds, according to Dr. John Reif,
professor at the Colorado State University College of Veterinary
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. For example, short-nosed breeds like
pugs and pit bulls were twice as likely to contract lung cancer.
Longer-nosed breeds like collies and German shepherds were
two-and-a-half times more likely to get nasal cancer. Cocker spaniels,
boxers, and retrievers are more prone to lymphoma than other breeds.
