THE SCARY TRUTH ABOUT PET DEODORIZERS

What You Need to Know

By Christine Mango

While many pet deodorizers may add a floral, citrus or warm note of sweetness to the air, what lurks under the ingredient label is incredibly alarming. They often contain dangerous, toxic, and harmful substances that are harmful to both pets and humans alike. Some ingredients may burn the paws of pups, cause rashes, respiratory problems, and even death.

The other problem with deodorizers is that you just don’t know where they are going to be used. As an example, many doggy daycare or boarding facilities and even dog parks, use deodorizers to mask urine and feces odors. You should always inquire before using these facilities and ask if they know what brand of deodorizer is being used.

Now if you are resolved to purchase a pet deodorizer, bear in mind that there are some ingredients found in these products that can be harmful to pets including Formaldehyde (if inhaled or absorbed through the skin, formaldehyde vapors can be dangerous and cause cancer and other harmful health effects. It can also irritate your pet's eyes and nasal membranes, leading to respiratory issues); Ammonia (can also lead to nausea, vomiting, and respiratory distress. It can irritate a pet's eyes and skin, and can cause burning in the nose, stomach, and throat if licked); Chlorine (a highly alkaline product that can produce poisonous fumes that are dangerous to pets. In high concentrations, chlorine can be deadly); Glycol ethers (acts as solvents that dissolve grease and grime but can be very poisonous to pets.

Dogs are especially attracted to the sweet taste of this and, even in small amounts, it can damage the liver and kidneys and potentially fatal); Fragrances (these can be allergens for dogs and cats, and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, including essential oils); and Parabens (these can disrupt the endocrine system and may increase a dog's chances of developing cancerous growth later in life. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin). Other ingredients that can be harmful to pets include phthalates, styrene, toluene, and xylene.  

So what is a pet parent supposed to do? Where can they turn to stem the stench of everyday pet life? After all, no one, including our furrever friends, wants the smell of urine and feces about the home or where they play.
