Essential oil diffusers can be toxic to dogs.
Concentrated essential oils in diffusers can cause respiratory irritation, liver damage, and poisoning. Tea tree, pennyroyal, wintergreen, and pine oils are especially dangerous.
Dangerous
Essential oil diffusers are dangerous for cats.
Cats lack the liver enzymes to process essential oils. Even airborne micro-droplets from diffusers can accumulate and cause liver damage, respiratory distress, and toxicity over time. Avoid using diffusers around cats.
If your dog has eaten this food and shows signs of distress (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, or seizures), contact your veterinarian immediately.
