Can I Febreze my ferret?

I have deodorizer, but the smell of that isn%26#039;t very pleasant. Febreze is MUCH better!

Can I Febreze my ferret?
You can give him a bath. There are special shampoos at the pet store for ferrets. Skip the Febreeze.
Reply:Please don%26#039;t use febreeze on any animal. Use a little baking soda in water. Bath your ferret that way.





Good luck.
Reply:no. just no. don%26#039;t.
Reply:No! It will get in his lungs and kill him. He might even lick it off and be poisoned. Please don%26#039;t. I have ferrets and they have a musky smell that you just deal with. I don%26#039;t even like the deodorizer they have out for ferrets. One thing that will help is to give him food that doesn%26#039;t contain fish like Marshall farms. It will cause them to have a fishy smell. I give my ferrets Total Ferret or Ultimate 8. They are made with chicken. Just read the ingredients of the food and make sure the first ingredients are chicken. I swear it will help.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know if it%26#039;s safe for ferrets or not. Consider having his scent gland removed so that he smells nice naturally.
Reply:They do stink don%26#039;t they.





I think that pet stores should make a safe Febreze for animal odors, but until then, you probably should just stick with the deodorizer, or if it is safe to give them baths then that would be a good idea.
Reply:If you want to kill it, otherwise, no.
Reply:NO! That%26#039;s very bad for the ferret. It might poisen it. There are very good smelling deodorizers specially made for pets that do not harm them. Go to a pet store and ask a worker where you can find them. Just, please, don%26#039;t Febreze your pet.
Reply:Febreze has recently been granted the ASPCA seal of approval as a pet-related product that meets the society%26#039;s standards of quality, general safety and usefulness. Rumors of cats and dogs being harmed by the product are unfounded. The product is safe for use around all companion animals expect for birds. The product should not, however, be used directly on any animal.
Reply:Sorryu you can%26#039;t febreze your ferret, ferrets have a natural bad odor so it won%26#039;t go away and the febreze could poison the ferret.I would%26#039;nt do that if I were you.
Reply:No but they sell stuff for that at PETCO and PET DEPOT
Reply:No!!! I don%26#039;t recommend it!!
Reply:Gosh no- that is all chemicals and could really hurt him.


When you bath him try this. After you rinse him take baking soda mixed with warm water (until it%26#039;s cloudy) make sure it is mixed good and then pour it on him and dry him.


This is a natural cure for smell and itchy skin and shoudl solve the problem
Reply:Ferrets are inherently smelly. I would not advise using a product for fabrics for it. You can was your pet as long as you want but this rodent is notorious for smelling bad. I think you must simply live with it because they are animals that naturally give off scents that are offensive to humans and their prey.
Reply:Are you out of your mind? Febreze is a chemical. It has also been blamed for the deaths of some birds, cats, and dogs. But putting that aside, why would you want to put any chemical on your ferret? And why would you risk your pet%26#039;s life by asking unqualified strangers on the internet, instead of just picking up the phone and calling your vet?! Your mental processes are scary.
Reply:no please don%26#039;t :( so not good for your fuzzie!!!!


what really keeps the smell down is cleaning the potty corner and cage clean, bathing helps but not more than once every other month, it%26#039;s not good for any ferrets skin if you bath it too much, if you have a hob (non fixed male), fixing him will greatly deduce the smell, you can also try a different brand of deodorizer from petco. :)





if you want to get more info :) FERRETS FOR DUMMIES is an absolutely great book
Reply:LOL no...........but Sergents has a new cat shampoo out that is fine for ferrets too! It smells really good
