In my house with 2... 3 now dogs a parrot and a hamster none of them have shown any negative anything so I will keep using it. So many hoaxes out there. People just got nothing better to do then make other people worry. I for one will not die of an ulcer.

This sounds like the one that goes around about those wet swiffer things. Probably not true either because I know people with multi pets that use those too.

We have a member in CA that does marketing (I think) for swiffer's parent company. She told us that it is actually safe to use it around animals. The Febreeze thing sounds similar. I would just say don't let your dogs roll around on the ground right after you spray. Since it only takes a few minutes for it to dry, you could keep them in another room or crate them for a few minutes just to be safe.
