Consumers in the UK love Zoflora Concentrated Disinfectant for its multi-room cleaning versatility, wide variety of powerful scents, and inexpensive price point. But what users may not know is that it contains a chemical that may be harmful to dogs, cats, and other household pets.
According to the product website, Zoflora can be used in just about any area of the home, including pet litter trays and crates as long as it is allowed to dry completely before pets come in contact with it.
Unfortunately many pet parents have overlooked this caveat, resulting in hundreds of calls to the Veterinary Poisons Information Service – a 24-hour helpline for pet parents.
While there have not been any reported deaths, the chemical in Zoflora can cause painful ulcers of the mouth, swollen eyes, loss of appetite and drooling.
Learn more about this potentially harmful chemical, what to do if your dog comes in contact with it, and how to keep your pets safe while cleaning.
