Is this product safe for cats? Does it treat mites and skin infections?

as cats digest things much differently than humans, use caution when administering. Cats have a long half life for alot of medication (it takes a long time to break down) meaning they may not show toxicity symptoms until days later after a few doses. With that being said, this is a low percentage but an 8 lb human should only get 0.72 mg every 7-14 days.

is this 6.08g ivermectin for horses,if used on dog or cat can it be used topically?

Yes, old question but for anyone wondering, ivermectin is safe for dogs, cats, rabbits, small rodents etc - use proper dosage. Type ivermectin and your animal into a search engine; you can confirm safety and find dosage. It's difficult to give so much that you would do harm if you're making a reasonable attempt to go by weight.Also, yes it works on ear mites, may help skin conditions if they are a reaction to parasites but ivermectin does not address infection.

Did you ever find any answers about this? I am having trouble finding any information about using this for cats, whether topically or orally. I finally tried some on one of my big (about 12 pounds) cats yesterday. I rubbed about 2 millimeters of the paste between her shoulder blades. She was covered in fleas, and honestly I don't see any today. She showed no ill symptoms, but I am a little concerned about long term effects.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I've used the product for several years and never noticed. It's been good for my cats.

I purchased this from a local small pet supply store and they recommended it for cats. This worked beautifully on both of my cats with no side effects. Having done years of research on essential oils I already knew which ones were cat safe. I have already recommended this product to friends.

Yes, just keep it away from their eyes, mouth & genitals. I spray my cats back & tail with it all the time. I won't tellyou they like it, but it works. Same goes for dogs. It is very popular here on the Gulf Coast area because fleas area natural due to the humidity & dampness. I know tons of people who use only this product because it is natural.You never want to use any aromotherapy products like oils on your cats, but this products is safe for cats over 12weeks of age.

I have used it on my three cats with no adverse affects. I spray it in my hand first then just rub it on their hind end and legs where the flea's tend to congregate. I make sure to get it down to the skin, then take a towel and 'pet' the fur till it's nearly dry. The oil kills on contact so as long as you get it down to the skin, they are good, then wipe off excess. No problems so far.

i have not used this product on my cats, but i've used it on myself and my horses (for fly/mosquito repellent) with no ill effects. i'm not sure how effective i woudl be against fleas, but i don't think it would be an issue.

It doesn't say anything about cats on the bottle, but I have seen a few websites and reviews that mention it being safe for cats. Personally, I have found this to be a very gentle product and I would feel safe trying it on a cat. Maybe use it on one area to make sure there's no reaction first?

don't think this product works on ear mites; claims to kill fleas only. We have used Animax ointment which seemed to work well for ear mites.

TrayContact the company on that one. I used it in dogs. Some herbs are not for cats...Google safe herbs for cats as well!! Its a great line and product, but do your homework

I use it for treating termite infected areas. I have cats and they do not linger around areas sprayed with the oil so it very well may be effective.

I only use mine twice a week. The softness of the bristles and the glove design make this a great product for cats like yours. I have a 6 month old maine coon kitten and she loves to be groomed by this. As far as for hairball prevention, I really do not know. My cat does not really have that problem. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works. If anything it would give you the excuse to give your cat attention while also grooming it.

Yes. Some forms of mange (the mites) are transferable to humans. There is nothing in the formula that would hurt a human. It is just the 3 ingredients: sulfur, camphor (the strongest odor you smell), and mineral oil. It is the consistency of Desitin ointment and must be shaken vigorously to keep it mixed. Now that my dogs are clear, I have used it on my contact dermatitis with wonderful results. I also hear that it can be used on acne, any rash, any itchy condition. Use it sparingly...it goes a long way. If it gets too thick, you can thin it with baby oil. If you prefer less of a greasy feel, you can put a small amount in a dish and mix in a bit of corn starch. I hope this helps.

No, the directions say for dogs only. There may be a spray bottle of this product specifically for cats, though. You may want to check on it. Good luck!

DO NOT USE ON CATS Essential Oils, as in this product, are TOXIC to cats! Lately I have noticed many such products advertised as Cat and Dog spray or shampoo... So Please Read Labels carefully and do not use Oils or Peppermint. . . .

Ecosmart is a good product. Yes, it will neutralize spider mites. Best done on spray. I use it because it is safe around pets. It also has some staying power long after spraying. As with any pesticide, avoid skin contact. did that once, no damage however, I knew it was there.

I would not give this to cats. it is based on body weight, half a tablet per 20 lbs. the labeling makes no mention of cats, only specifically for dogs. I would call your vet to get a recommendation for your cat.
