My dog licked Febreze, now vomiting and diarrhea. Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Last night my dog licked up some febreze from the floor. His eyes and jowls swelled. I gave him a dose of benedryl 25mg , he weighs about 55 lbs. the swelling went down but he started having diarrhea. Now he is vomiting. Doesn't seem to be in distress. I gave him some plain white rice and he vomited that up about an hour later. Should I be taking he to the vet right now ?

Febrese can be toxic if ingested although it usually isn't severely toxic in relatively small amounts, nevertheless your dog is showing signs of gastrointestinal upset and possibly toxicity, to be on the safe side I would recommend taking him tp the vet to get checked and receive at least some symptomatic treatment for the vomiting and diarrhea.
