We get many questions from our customers and potential customers. Here is a common cat question:
Question: I am very interested in your natural flea product for cats, however I have been researching this and cedar oil is harmful to cats because their liver cannot detoxify it. Do you use a different type of cedar oil? How do you know it is safe for cats and kittens?
Answer: To answer your question, one we get all the time, yes our Cedar Oil is different. It is a modified cedar oil mixed with silicic acid (melted quarts) and it is not harmful to cats or kittens. There are many types of cedar and several of them are not only harmful to animals, but humans as well. There is a lot of info on the Internet but most of the information isn’t specific on the type of cedar. For example, western red cedar is toxic to animals, christmas tree types of cedar are too. We use only certified organic, Texas red cedar or juniperus virginiana, and then modify it through a patented extraction process. It it certified human food grade by the FDA. Silane fluid (silicic acid) is a low molecular weight carrier that can deliver the active ingredient deep into the epidermal layer of the skin. It is not considered a topical control like aqueous and petroleum distillate carriers that enter into the bloodstream of the animal or human. Becuase it does not enter the bloodstream, their is nothing for the cat’s liver to detoxify.
With cats, we always recommend treating the environment (indoor/outdoor property) and misting the cats/kittens as needed. Cats are more sensitive by nature, no doubt. Wondercide products have been tested and proven to be 100% non toxic to pets, people, and property.
