Hi everybody-unfortunately I'm here because of something I wish I had researched before. My home & animals have fleas, and a family member bought "Natural Care + Flea and Tick Spray," which markets itself as a natural spray that can be used on animals and furniture alike. I sprayed it for four days on the drapes, couches, and cat tree. Probably used 3/4 of the bottle. Then I realized I should probably look into it more, and found that both peppermint oil and clove are extrememly toxic for cats! I didn't use it on them directly, but did use it in rooms they were in at the same time. I feel awful, called a few vets to get their opinions on if they should be brought in or not, and aired out/cleaned the house today. The animals haven't reacted (yet) but I'm keeping an eye out for any unusual signs as I've read accounts of cats dying a few days later :-(
Sorry this is long-I'm feeling frazzled and I can't believe I didn't do my research before using the product! Has anyone been in a similar situation with a flea peppermint spray, and would you recommend just going to the vet despite your cats not showing symptoms? Should I give them a Dawn bath?
