Veterinary medicine is no exception.
However, the Internet is also fraught with misinformation, and again veterinary medicine is no exception. Over the last few months, a rumor has been circulating around the Internet pet community that Febreze is extremely toxic to pets, and numerous dogs and cats had died as a result of the product being used around them. Folks, it is not true. In a recent letter I received from Proctor and Gamble, the company states that Febreze was thoroughly evaluated prior to its market release for toxicity issues involving pets and people. This included in-home tests by over 15,000 pet owners, more than a thousand of which were bird owners.
