Did you know that Radon can cause lung cancer in pets?  The Radon Man of Wisconsin can help protect your family and your furry family members.

​

• Although you and your family may be able to spend time outside, the majority of time, your pets are indoors and are constantly exposed.

• Pets may spend a lot of time in the basement, especially cats.  The basement is below ground and is the first room that radon gas will reach as it rises from the soil to the air.

• Pets have smaller lungs and exposure to radon gas for longer periods of time can result in lung cancer.

• Pets may not show symptoms of radon poisoning until it is too late.  By the time it is detected, their disease is typically advanced.
