Essential oils are very popular for scenting and purifying our homes. But did you know they can be dangerous for animals? Cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits do not have the same tolerance as us to these plant concentrates. Before diffusing or applying an essential oil, it is essential to be aware of the real risks to their health.
Essential oils: an often underestimated danger for animals
Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts. They contain powerful molecules such as phenols, terpenes, and ketones, which animals have difficulty eliminating.
Cats: extreme sensitivity
Their liver does not properly detoxify these compounds. A simple inhalation or diffusion can cause respiratory problems, vomiting, or even seizures.
Tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, or lemon oils are particularly toxic to them.
Dogs: caution nonetheless
Even if some dogs tolerate certain oils better, repeated exposure or application to their fur remains risky. This can lead to irritations, itching, or neurological problems.

Why choose an air freshener without essential oils?
Natural air fresheners without essential oils, like those from LAUNNY, offer a gentle ambient fragrance safe for the whole family, a healthy formula respectful of the environment, your health, and that of your animals, and care for the animals' coat and skin.

Some tips for safely scenting your home
1. Avoid diffusing essential oils in the presence of animals.
2. Prefer natural air fresheners with hydrolates without aggressive volatile components.
3. Regularly ventilate your rooms for healthy air.
4. Never spray a product directly on your animal that is not suitable!
5. Choose products tested and formulated specifically for safe use.
