I wouldn’t use all those essential oils on a cat. Cats aren’t small dogs, a lot of products labeled for dogs and cats really aren’t safe for cats

Answer by KaliMay 01, 2022
None of the listed essential oils are bad for cats. Tea tree is the main essential oil you MUST keep away from pets, but not all essential oils are bad. Please feel free to do some research on your own.

No one ever list what scent these products havee. Do they have any? I'd like my Chihuahua to smell nice.

Answer by ChewyAug 02, 2018
The natural botanical formula includes balsam, cedarwood, rosemary, and orange oils, leaving your pet smelling like they've been vacationing on a tropical island.

I heard citrus oils can be harmful for cats. Is the orange oil in this safe for use?

Answer by ChewyJan 17, 2018
When used in small and controlled doses it's completely safe for use on both cants and dogs. Orange peel oil leaves the coat soft, plush and free of any fur stains or grease.

Is this safe to use on young puppies (8 weeks)?

Answer by ChewyOct 19, 2022
This shampoo is formulated safe and effective for use on cats and dogs, 12 weeks of age and older.

A great Bath buy!

This bath solution was easy to apply. The dogs were very accommodating and stood still while I bathed them. They smelled nice when I was all done.

Waterless dog shampoo

I have a dog that can't be groomed due to a hoarding situation that she was in previously. This is easy to use and smells great.

Great bath alternative

My dog is terrified of baths, so I tried this as an alternative. He enjoys being groomed and tolerates application of this foamy shampoo very well. It smells good

You do need to give your pet good rub with an old towel to remove the residue of the wash after you rub it into the fur and so that their fur has a shine and feels
