Febreze Is Dangerous to Pets
There have been multiple instances of dogs and birds who
have died or became very ill after being exposed to Febreze, a
deodorizer/air freshener. Febreze contains zinc chloride, which is very
dangerous for animals.
Please do not use Febreze anywhere near your pets! If
you have used it near your pets or on their bedding, clean the
bedding/area thoroughly to remove the Febreze, and move the animals away
from the area.
Please pass this information on to other pet owners/caretakers,before
more animals are injured or killed, and find a safer method of odor
control.
Febreze: This product is marketed as something that
removes odors without covering them up. However, there is a strong smell
to it, but worse than that, Febreze contains zinc chloride. Many birds
have already been killed after this product was used in any proximity to
them whatsoever, and some dogs have also died. Other dogs have become ill
without dying. This product is marketed as safe around animals, and people
have sprayed their dogs' bedding to remove the doggy smell, only to
discover later on that their dog became deathly ill from it. There is one
dog who lost most of her hair after being accidentally sprayed with some
Febreze, though this particular incident also had a second factor involved
(diet change).The Febreze bottle, as of December, 1998, has a picture on
the back of a dog, which leads some people to believe it's safe to use in
their bedding. |
