You've recently used Dr Teal's sleep spray around your cat, and you're concerned about potential effects. It's important to ensure the safety of your pet around new products.
- Check the ingredients of the sleep spray.
- Observe your cat for any signs of distress or allergy.
- Avoid direct exposure in the future to be cautious.
Dr Teal's products are generally designed for human use, and certain essential oils can be harmful to pets if they are ingested, inhaled, or come in direct contact with their skin. While most cats should not have severe reactions to limited exposure through diffused air, it's important to be cautious and monitor for any changes in behavior or health. Ensure that areas where your cat spends time are well-ventilated to minimize exposure to potential irritants. Always consult with a veterinarian if you're concerned about specific symptoms.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
