Most people remember to kid proof their houses but a lot of folks never even think of pet proofing.

I try to avoid chemicals when I can, but never would have thought something for fleas/ticks in dogs would be so harmful to cats!

Great article. I am always checking labels, if it can kill something you do not need a degree in science to figure out it is probably not good for pets!

We do have the house sprayed by professionals--I'll have to inquire what the product is that's used--despite there assurance it's safe.

I just checked the dog flea treatment I keep in the 'fridge and saw the permethrin ingredient and the warning not to use on cats. I wish I had some cat flea treatment on hand for comparison. This article makes me very chary of using chemicals on my pets.

I wonder about things like Bio spot. If this is a danger to cats, why wouldn't it be a danger to the dogs too. They even injest the stuff. Makes you wonder about the chemicals we use.

We never use these kinds of repellents for insects in the house because of their dangers. We try to go natural...for instance, cayenne pepper to get rid of ants.

This is great to know, and I wish I had been given the information sooner, especially by my vet. I am so careful about chemicals and my pets. We even started buying specific cleaners, despite the price, to protect our dog.

This is really good information to know. I've always made sure my animals can't get into any household products, but I didn't know the cats should stay away from dogs for 72 hours after applying Frontline, Advantage, etc.

I have not heard of this before and although I don't think these are products my cats would be exposed to in my household it is good information to keep in the back of my head.

Oh my goodness. I am happy I read this article. There should be some kind of warning label on their products so that people are aware.

I am glad I looked at this article - you never know about over the counter products and their effects on the entire household. Hope they add this to their warning label

Am I glad I read this article! We have to use Bio-Spot on our dogs to keep the tips of their ears from getting some sort of mites. I would certainly hate for the kitten to get deathly ill just from being near them after it is applied.

Thanks for posting this! I knew not to ever use dog flea treatment on cats, but I did not know that cutter insect repellent was poisonous to cats. We use that when we are working in the yard. I will have to find something else ASAP!

Have to do your own research, even on flea collars. One would think flea collars would NOT be poisonous for your pet!! I am always aware that any insect repellant could be a danger to pets...and people!

Everyone should be made aware that the flea treatment for dogs is very dangerous to cats. I though most all of them had a warning on the package, but maybe not. Also we should be careful with all of our cleaning agents, they can be dangerous to pets as well as children.
