    Yeah my dog had the same issue with febreeze... I used it ONE time on my couch (where the dog sleeps) and the next morning her tummy was bald and she had licked herself so much she had sore spots. Took her to the vet and yep-- contact dermatitis, brought on by the febreeze (contact dermatitis is like an itchy rash caused by exposure to an irritant- in this case it was febreeze).

    Also, the febreeze wet jet solution crap is toxic for pets... it has antifreeze ingredients in it, and can kill them over regualr long term exposure (walking on the floor it was used on then licking paws, etc).

    Dogs can be allergic to anything we are, but your dog is probably having problems with the sents added to the febreze.....Is he./she sneezing a lot, then it's the smell and not an allergy....Allergy will present with sneezing, cough, facial swelling, malaise(drowsy, lazy, sleepy), and wheezing when breathing. They may present with itching, persistant licking of paws or stomache.. look up Common Dog Alleries on Dogcarz.com. If you are concerned take your pet to the vet and get a checkup. If you don't have a vet find one in yellow pages on yahoo or look up local ones on internet.

    Yep, sounds like a skin allergy. But make sure there are no fleas, and maybe have him checked for mange. My little guy breaks out when he lays down in the grass, but it has gotten better recently. Some grow out of it, but some only get worse.

    at the same time as a dogs has diarrhea, their bowels get annoyed and they couldn't stop the diarrhea on their own a range of of the time. it truly is what my vet recommends for my 3 Labradors at the same time as they have diarrhea: a million. No nutrition for 2 nutrition. this provides the bowels a danger to get well. The dogs received't starve, even if they are going to be hungry. it truly is in many situations an major step to get their bowels to stop being infected. 2. Rice on my own for 2 nutrition. 3. Rice blended with kibble, including extra kibble and a lot less rice every time for numerous days. 4. bypass decrease back to kibble. dogs each so often purely get dissatisfied stomachs. It does no longer mean you should replace their nutrition, except they're getting dissatisfied stomachs lots. It does no longer mean that they have got worms, quite in the experience that your dogs is an interior dogs and nicely cared for. ETA: a poster below is genuine, and that i forgot, that once you bypass to the vet, you should plan to carry a stool pattern with you.

    Yes, all things in the world have a potential to make someone/some-critter allergies. It just depends how common and how severe.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes. But what is more likely is that the smell is irritating to them. Scented products are generally not good for animals of all kinds.

    they probably can:)

    talk to their vet..

    they would know

    but they might not be b/c my dogs always sneeze whenever i spray anything close to them

    if their just sneezing and nothing else then they probably arent alergic

    otherwise check w/ their vet

    *hope this helps*
