Q: Is it safe for pets to be in the same room when this is being used in a vaporizer, or should they be kept away?

submitted by DB - 4 months ago
  • A: Eucalyptus oil is highly toxic to dogs and cats and should never be used on them. Toxicity: Eucalyptus oil contains a compound called eucalyptol, which can cause severe respiratory irritation, seizures, and even death in dogs. Droplets of this in the air effectively attach to pet fur and potentially ingested by grooming. Even small amounts of eucalyptus oil can be toxic, especially when ingested or applied directly to the skin.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vicks vapo steam medicated liquid works great with the humidifier. The camphor provides a soothing comfort especially with stuffy nose and cold. It’s helps my toddler sleep well during the colder months. Just a few drops of liquid last all night. This is a must have in my house. Gifted by infleunster and Vicks for review.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a familiar scent in an easier to use form. Vicks has been my family's solution for congestion my whole life, but always in the salve form. This gives the same great relief without the cleanup needed. We are using it in a humidifier with a compartment for it, but it can also go in your bath.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vicks Vaposteam works well with the vicks humidifier. It adds the menthol to the steam that really helps with chest and nasal congestion. The only downfall is it is messy and sticky and a pain to clean out of the humidifier.
