Bathtub reglazed in studio. Is my dog safe from chemical fumes?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 3 years and 8 months old | 5.95 lbs

I just had my bathtub reglazed 5h ago with ceramic enamel and did not think to take my yorkie elsewhere. The windows were open and she never entered the bathroom, but I live in a studio apartment. The smell subsided in 45 minutes. Will she be OK? Should I take her somewhere else for tonight?

Hello. If Bailey does not have any underlying health or respiratory issues, & the odor seems tolerable for you to remain in the apartment, then I see no reason to take her elsewhere. She should remain just fine now. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
