[Dailydrool] Febreze

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

Using Febreze to eradicate dog odor is great if you use it on  
*things* only. Just don't use it on a dog. It's not designed to be a  
dog deodorant.

My basset friend, the late Macy, was sprayed with Febreze and had  
such a severe allergic reaction to it that she was on prednisone for  
several months. It was a horrible experience for everyone, and the  
person who sprayed her in fun (not her human, but one of her human's  
friends) felt terrible about it when he saw how inflamed Macy's skin  
was, how miserable her rash made her for weeks, and how the  
prednisone caused her to have a prolonged unpleasant personality change.

If your sofa smells like dog, use Febreze on it. But if your dog  
smells like dog, use only doggie shampoo on him.
