    I tried looking up info on it too but like you couldn't find anything really concrete for answers. Closest thing I could find (not overly helpful at all) was from the manufacturers website FAQ page.

    http://www.oust.com/faq.aspx

    The most it would say was follow directions on the can and do not spray ON pets.

    Thank you for that

    I guess I don't want to rule out the fact that it COULD be harmful, but at the same time it doesn't seem so unsafe that I can't use it for normal use. I don't spray it liberally ON my pets or inside the litterbox, I just aim it in the air in the general direction of the litterbox or wherever and spray.

    I remember when Febreeze came out, there was a big brouhaha on that. I asked my vet. He said that since Febreeze is sprayed on the furniture fabric, then the cat sits on it, then the cat self grooms, it is "possible" for the cat to ingest some and get sick. I decided not to use it.

    But I have not heard a word about Oust. So I'm just wondering if the friend was mixing up Oust and Febreeze.

    you know what... I just had one oust and was great... I had used other brand before.. but not while my bird were inside (now they are in an outside aviary) many if not all sprays, candles etc are harmful for their respiratory systems.. so I had no odor "destroyers" at all... now they are out and I bought one oust to try and was great but now reading your post made me read the label trhoughly....

    besides not leaving it near children or pets and not using in on pets (common sense to many of us).. it also says do not spray if you have domestic birds... and to ventilate really really well before letting them in again ... so it is harmful...

    birds are so delicate I had to be very very careful even with pans.. only stainless steel as the ones with teflon released fumes (unsightly) but that are very dangerous to them.. so mainly things that were ok for toddlers to even chew on were safe for the birds... so if it ain´t safe for birds it probably ain´t safe for other pets.... but maybe other kind of pets are more resistant or tolerant to it... not sure... anyway back to bird safe products in my house

    Birds I know are a million times more sensitive to aerosols than other animals for obvious reasons, but I've just never heard of an adverse reaction to oust like my classmate claims.

    Thank you everyone so far

    Does the company have a 1-800 number you could call for information directly?

    Try 1 800 494 4855 and ask them.
