Is the smell of moth balls bad for dogs
1 Answer

Yes, it is. The fumes from the moth balls can be very irritating to the nose, eyes, and lungs. Dogs who are around mothball fumes may develop red, runny eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, and/or coughing. I would not expose Lexi to moth balls. I hope this helps!
