Hi everyone

I’m passing this on as a dog owner who also lives with cats: using dog treatments on cats, or using essential oils on cats = dangerous ⚠️

It’s an easy mistake to make, so I’m sharing this video from Vet Ludo.

Advice in pet shops can be very hit and miss. At the chemist, it’s even worse—they really don’t have a clue. Both types of shops are just there to make a sale. I’ve experienced this myself.

    Hello, As a vet student, I find your post particularly important and I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this. It is a vet’s job to inform cat and dog owners about this, but it’s also the responsibility of pet shop assistants and pharmacists who sell these products. It isn’t necessarily intuitive, and it’s a mistake any pet owner could easily make. Luckily, some professionals in these fields do think to offer this advice and, fortunately, there are also owners like you who selflessly share their experiences. Thank you, Have a good evening, Laura Michel
