All information reviewed to date suggests that there is no evidence that Febreze represents any risk to pets when used according to label instructions. Presently, the center considers the product safe to use in households with pets. As with any cleaning product, the center recommends that birds be removed from the room until the product application has dried and the area has been ventilated. It IS true that Febreze causes respiratory distress and death in pet birds, although Proctor and Gamble have yet to admit it. I doubt that it causes problems in dogs and cats, however.
Birds have highly efficient respiratory systems which absorb chemicals very quickly.
Any chemical substance such as Febreze should be used with caution around birds. Carpet cleaner, bleach, and other cleaners can also cause birds harm.
