Is Seventh Generation disinfectant spray safe to use around dogs and cats?

I've been using Seventh Generation disinfectant spray around the house to keep things clean. However, I realized that I’m not sure if it's safe to use when my dog and cat are around, especially since they like to sniff everything. Could this spray pose any risks to them, or is it generally safe to use in a pet-friendly environment?

Answer

You're using Seventh Generation disinfectant to maintain a clean home, but you're worried about its safety for your dog and cat as they explore their surroundings.

  • Seventh Generation products are generally plant-based and considered safer for pets.
  • Proper ventilation and allowing surfaces to dry can minimize risks.
  • It's good to be cautious since pets may have unique sensitivities.

Seventh Generation disinfectant sprays are typically made from plant-based ingredients, which are generally safer for pets. However, it is always a good idea to use these products in well-ventilated areas and allow surfaces to dry completely before allowing pets to come in contact with them. Every pet is unique, so monitor any unusual behavior or reactions.
