Pheromone products are not harmful or toxic. Alternatives would depend on what exactly you were using the pheromones to "treat". If it is to decrease aggression, behavioral modification may be required. For anxiety, you can use compression clothing, such as the ThunderShirt, as well as desensitization to the negative stimuli.
