Are Floor Fans Bad for Dogs?
Floor fans are not bad for dogs.
Floor fans are a great way to cool down an entire room. In fact, they’re one of the best types of fans for quickly circulating air around a space.
However, never blow a fan directly at your dog.
I suggest that you keep your fan on a low setting and in oscillation mode. This way, the fan will spread cool air throughout the entire room.
You may also want to wrap fan cords in hard-to-chew, nontoxic material. Chewed cords can lead to electrocution or even a fire.
Always provide a way for your dog to escape the cool air.
Floor fans come in many different shapes and sizes. Floor fans include tower fans, pedestal fans, and box fans.
