Pooph is marketed across the Internet and on several websites (Chewy, Walmart, Amazon) as a "safe" and "effective" odor eliminator. In an advertising video, the promo guy sprays it directly in his mouth. Chewy has stated that "The wipes and spray can be used directly on cats and dogs." 

Pooph spray is not FDA approved and it does not have to be, because it is a "cleaning product" but the company is telling people through it's advertising that it is safe for human and dog consumption. The Better Business Bureau says the safety is backed up by the "National Advertising Division," but this "division" is not a government agency, but rather one run by the advertising industry itself. Further, did Pooph disclose its "proprietary odor eliminating blend" ingredients to this agency, because it does not disclose these to the consumer, meaning that those buying it have no idea what is really in it. 

All the advertising images I found say that it is safe "*if used according to the directions." On the back of the spray bottle for both the "Pet Odor Eliminator" and "Kitty Litter Odor Eliminator," under the directions, it says "NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION." Hmmm, then why do they have a guy spraying himself in the mouth in their advertisement? It also says, "Not to be sprayed or applied upon humans or animals." [emphasis added] 

So, while their advertising shows people eating, spraying, and wiping this all over themselves, their bottles (at least the ones I purchased) say not to do this--and their advertising says you need to follow the directions on the bottle after showing people wiping their pets down with it. 

I did a database search to see if any research had been done to determine the safety of using this on dogs/cats/humans, and I couldn't find a single paper on it. If anyone finds a published research paper showing this is safe to spray or wipe on my dog or cat, please let me know by posting a link in the comments (only links to an actual paper determining the safety of this product will be allowed to be posted). Sorry if I am cynical, but I have seen enough junk science in my lifetime. No published papers means they have no clue if its safe or not and shouldn't be promoting it as such. 

I am not saying it isn't safe--I'm saying that without any scientific research determining whether or not it is safe and without knowing exactly what is in the product--this company should not be making the claims that it is safe to spray on things and consume. That they have a disclaimer on the product bottle is proof enough for me they don't think it is all that safe.
