Is Scratchex® Dog Stripe-On® Flea and Tick Control a potential hazard to other pets?
Unlike dogs, cats tend to be sensitive to permethrin at the dosage level found in Scratchex® Dog Stripe-On® Flea and Tick Control . DO NOT USE SCRATCHEX® DOG STRIPE-ON® FLEA & TICK CONTROL ON CATS OR FERRETS or animals other than dogs. Cats which actively groom (lick) or engage in close physical contact with recently treated dogs may be at risk of toxic exposure. Nearly all dogs tolerate Scratchex® Dog Stripe-On® Flea and Tick Control well. But, as with any pesticide product, drug, or food, rare individual dogs may be sensitive to one or more of the ingredients. If your dog shows signs of irritation or sensitivity to the product (redness or itchiness at the application site), discontinue use and bathe the dog with a mild, non-insecticidal shampoo; seek veterinary advice.
