[ laughter ] cooler weather these days may have you turning your heater on for the first time in months. and that could pose a carbon monoxide risk to your pets. so our pet expert dr. jill chase is here with trevor with how to keep them safe.

>> yeah. so i thought this would be a good topic because what michelle said is correct, a lot of people having been the using their furnaces and they are emitting carbon monoxide. carbon monoxide is silent because you don't really smell it. it has no color. and what it does is it replaces the oxygen carrying ability of read blood cells so you basically can't breathe because there's no oxygen. and you die if you are not taken of immediately. i wanted to talk about that and make sure for yourself and your children, make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors in your home. but be aware of the fact that cars, if they are running in a non-ventilated environment, will also emit carbon dioxide. people sometimes in the cold, though, use coal heaters and that's very dangerous as well because it also produces carbon monoxide. so i just wanted to make sure everybody as we are moving into the wintertime recognizes this is a real risk and that we should be very careful. some people were wondering whether or not it had anything to do with the height of where

you are in the room but it does not. it goes everywhere. it's not just on the bottom or on the top. it's everywhere. birds are much more susceptible than dogs and cats. >> so -- >> you can get carbon monoxide monitors, too, that you can just plug in. >> yeah. >> those are good. >> they are perfect. yeah. and in as many rooms as possible, right? you want to make sure it's detected immediately. >> yes. all right. well, thank you so much, dr. chase. trevor is eager to go! i love his shirt. if you have a question about your pet's health and well- being, we want to hear from you. just just email us at pets@kpix.com and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. we'll be right back.
