Electrosmog in animals - the invisible danger for our four-legged friends

Electrosmog has long been an issue for humans - but what about our pets? Dogs, cats, horses and other animals are just as exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMF) as we are. Wi-Fi, cell phones, smart home devices and even electric cars generate radiation that permeates our daily environment.
But unlike us, animals can't tell when they have a headache or are tired. This is precisely why it is so important to take the issue of electrosmog in animals seriously and find ways to protect our four-legged friends.

In this article you will find out:

  • What electrosmog actually is

  • How animals can react to electromagnetic fields

  • Which symptoms are frequently observed

  • How to make your home, stable or dog park EMF-safe

  • How innovative technologies such as ZES Bodyguard can help to protect animals sustainably

What is electrosmog anyway?

Electrosmog is a collective term for artificially generated electromagnetic fields (EMF) caused by electrical devices, radio waves and wireless communication. Examples:

  • WLAN router and repeater

  • Cell phones and radio masts

  • Bluetooth devices (smartwatches, headphones)

  • Microwaves, induction stoves and other household appliances

  • High-voltage lines and power lines

These electromagnetic fields are invisible to us, but have a constant effect on our bodies - and also on the bodies of animals.

Why animals can react particularly sensitively to electrosmog

Animals often have finer sensory perceptions than humans. They are much more sensitive to sounds, smells and even magnetic fields. Studies show that cows and birds, for example, can orient themselves by magnetic fields. If electromagnetic fields disrupt these natural orientation mechanisms, this can have an impact on behavior and health.

Particularly affected are:

  • Dogs that spend a long time indoors and are often close to Wi-Fi routers or chargers

  • Cats that like to lie on warm electrical appliances - often directly on WLAN routers or televisions

  • Horses standing near power lines or electric fences

  • Farm animals that live in stables with a lot of electronic technology (milking robots, lighting controls)

Possible symptoms of electrosmog exposure in animals

The symptoms can be very unspecific, which makes it difficult to identify electrosmog as the cause. Nevertheless, pet owners, vets and researchers report the following observations:

  • 🐾 Restlessness & nervousness - animals appear stressed, run around a lot or cannot find peace and quiet

  • 🐾 Changed sleeping behavior - dogs sleep restlessly, cats constantly change their sleeping place

  • 🐾 Behavioral changes - aggressiveness, anxiety or withdrawal

  • 🐾 Drop in performance - the ability to concentrate decreases in sport horses or service dogs

  • 🐾 More frequent illnesses - immune system appears weakened, animals are more susceptible to infections

  • 🐾 Reduced fertility - observed on farms

Of course, these symptoms can have many causes. But if other causes have been ruled out, it is worth checking the electromagnetic pollution in the environment.

Measuring electrosmog - also useful in animal households

Anyone who suspects that EMFs are a problem can use measuring devices to measure radiation in the barn or at home.
There are EMF measuring devices that measure radio radiation (WLAN, Bluetooth), electric and magnetic fields. This is particularly helpful for identifying hotspots, i.e. places where radiation is particularly high.

Example:
Many cat owners are surprised that their cat's favorite spot is right on top of the Wi-Fi router or next to the microwave - an area with very high levels of radiation.

Practical tips on electrosmog protection for animals

Here are some concrete measures that you can implement immediately:

1. switch off WLAN at night

Switch off the router at night or set a timer - this reduces the permanent load for all residents.

2. remove chargers

Do not leave chargers permanently plugged in, especially in areas where animals sleep.

3. design sleeping areas to be EMF-free

Choose a place for your dog or cat to sleep that is as far away as possible from WLAN, power lines or large electrical appliances.

4. cable instead of radio

If possible, use wired connections (LAN instead of WLAN).

5. use shielding products

There are special shielding materials or mats that can reduce electromagnetic fields.

6. use innovative biotechnology

Products such as ZES Bodyguard can help the body to better process electromagnetic fields and maintain its natural balance.

ZES Bodyguard technology - protection at cell level

Our pets deserve the same protection as we do.
ZES Bodyguard technology is based on patented biotechnology that works at the cellular level and helps the body to cope better with electromagnetic fields.

  • Patented & scientifically tested

  • ✅ Easy to use - available as a chip, wristband or mat

  • ✅ Also suitable for pet owners - ideal for protecting the entire environment

  • ✅ Used by professional athletes & luxury hotels - now also available for your pets

Conclusion: electrosmog in animals is a serious issue

Our pets are family members - and they are just as exposed to electromagnetic fields as we are.
Even if electrosmog is invisible, the effects can be real: from restlessness to health problems.

The good news: we can take action! With simple measures in everyday life, a more conscious placement of technology and innovative solutions such as ZES Bodyguard, we not only protect ourselves, but also our four-legged companions.
