People who use cedar shaving (or Pine) to stuff dog bed cushions
The aromatic oils discourage fleas and other parasites and also helped with ordor control
But Evidence now shows that those aromatic hydrocarbons can damage the livers of smaller animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, and guinea pigs, whose cages have been traditionally lined with cedar shavings, as well as small dogs and cats
Pine shavings have some similar toxic components, though proper ventilation may reduce toxicity levels
If your's thinking about treating your pet to a comfortable bed, consider alternatives to coniferous material
Aspen shavings, for instance, have become a popular substitute
