Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this to use on our dog's feet because we didn't want another large Vet bill. (We went to our Vet's for his feet about a week prior and the shot they gave him helped for a few days, but then it wore off. Which is why we bought the product.) We got this at a "local" chain pet store for a little off (due to a pricing mistake they found). We sprayed it on his feet and it seemed to help as well as it smelled good, but then the next morning things got ugly fast!
Our dog woke us up walking around with muscle tremors, acting wobly, and nausous. I frantically started searching on the internet about ingredient toxitity of this product since he had licked a tiny ammount off his feet the night before. I found that tea tree oil is toxic when ingested internally and can cause ataxia, weakness, muscle tremors, and lack coordination (here's some proof: [...]). We thought we were going to lose him for a while and I'm not usually freaked out about this kind of stuff since I work with animals.
I decided to wash off his feet to prevent any further reactions from occuring, and forced him to drink some water. Within a half an hour he was acting better so we did not have to take him to the emergency vet.
I emailed the company about my experience with their product and I NEVER received a response back!! I told them that they should put a warning to pet owners on the label about the toxitity that can occur when the tea tree oil in their product is ingested internally. Which would cover them in case of a lawsuit. I personally am not going to press any charges since we did not have to take him to the E Vet, but if a situation occurs where someone else sues because their dog gets sick. They can't say I didn't warn them!! I won't be using any of their products unless I personally research the safety of the ingredients prior to purchasing.
*From a Fet Owner to Another: Please be VERY careful about using this product on your pet where they could lick it off because you do not want to go through what I did with my dog. Also please do not use this on cats as tea tree oil is way more toxic to cats than dogs!
