Wallflowers, such as the Bath & Body Works Wallflowers plug-in air fresheners, are not safe for dogs. These products release a continuous stream of fragrance containing essential oils and chemical preservatives that are toxic to dogs when inhaled over time. Exposure to these fragrances can cause symptoms in dogs such as vomiting, diarrhea, oral burns, drooling, neurological problems like unsteadiness and tremors, asthma, and allergies. The continuous release of toxic compounds leaves dogs with no way to escape the exposure, making these air fresheners hazardous to their health. Key toxic ingredients in Wallflowers include essential oils (eucalyptus, tea tree, citrus, pine, peppermint), preservatives, and fragrance carriers such as formaldehyde, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds, all of which pose significant risks to dogs even in small amounts. It is recommended to avoid using Wallflowers or any similar plug-in air fresheners around dogs to prevent adverse health effects.
