I am not too surprised by the fact that animals/pets get the exceeding amount than humans. Because of their smaller frame and weight than human, the health risk can be worse than you ever think. It’s not limited to 4 legged pets but also greatly applies to 2 legged animals like birds. It’s best to not use around the animals if you love them like own kids. Having birds years now, I have stopped using anything causing toxic fumes and replaced to the natural, nontoxic cleanser around the house. By doing so, I feel better and save money too. It’s not that hard going nontoxic. The basic staples of cleaning from cleaning kitchen counter to washing clothes are baking soda, white vinegar, and the plant based oils.

That's why all natural cleaning products are the way to go.
