Is my lemon essential oil diffuser safe for my dog, hamster, and bird?

Question

So I got a lemon diffuser and I need to know if it is safe for my dog, hamster and bird I’ve been reading some articles but each one says something different. So my question is: is it safe to use my lemon diffuser around my pets. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 16 lbs

I wouldn't be too concerned about the hamster and dog - lemon essential oil is not particularly irritating and in these species you would need to worry more about topical use of essential oils. Birds however tend to be very sensitive to any inhaled compounds, and it would be safest to avoid any essential oils around your bird.
