My dog chewed an air freshener can. Is it toxic if she ingested it?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not likely going to cause any permanent damage and it is more likely to just cause a transient local irritation. However, if she seems uncomfortable, I recommend you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell whether Bentley ingested a toxic amount of the deodorant since it was a spray. Aerosols can contain hydrocarbons which are volatile compounds that can cause stomach upset. If you think she ingested a large amount of the spray, I would take her to the vet now just in case. Otherwise, I would monitor her for any vomiting or diarrhea. If this happens, I would contact your vet at that point. If mild diarrhea is seen, you can try fasting her for about 12 hours, then start offering small frequent meals of a bland diet such as boiled chicken and rice. I hope this helps, and that Bentley is feeling well!

As long as he is behaving normally, there is likely no cause for concern. The propellant in the can can cause local irritation such as redness or may cause excessive drooling. You can monitor him for those signs for the next 24 hours to make sure he is in the clear.

If toy do not believe there was anything in the box then I would monitor Casper for now. If you notice any symptoms such as lethargy, inappetance, vomiting or diarrhea, I would get him in to be examined by a veterinarian for further testing. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Most air fresheners aren’t toxic to dogs and I wouldn’t have any worries unless Bentley has chronic bronchitis, collapsing trachea or another airway disease. In this case you should avoid all air fresheners. Watch for coughing.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most perfumes contain alcohol, which evaporates rather quickly. It is unlikely that it is toxic to Bella, but you should keep an eye on her for any vomiting or lethargy over the next several hours. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other question you may have!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If she only ate a small piece of the wrapper, I would not be concerned as long as she did not ingest a mothball. I would recommend just monitoring Shelby and if you notice any symptoms developing (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, etc.) I would bring her in to be examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
