Is Febreze safe to use around pets? The ASPCA consulted the experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) for the answer and, based on a thorough review by APCC veterinary toxicologists, the ASPCA considers Febreze safe in households with dogs and cats when used as directed. "The data reviewed also suggests that Febreze is safe to use as directed in households with ferrets, rabbits and rodents," states the APCC's Dana B. Farbman, C.V.T. "But because of their unique respiratory physiology, the ASPCA recommends that birds be removed from rooms when spraying any household cleaning product until the area is fully ventilated. Due to a lack of data about Febreze's interaction with pets other than dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits and rodents, those other animals should be removed from the room when the product is being used."
