Cat and dog flea treatments can be toxic to pets, humans

Just an important reminder!

And just b/c a flea product is natural does not mean it safe for pets.
I went to a Natural grocery store that carry items for pets to and brought my dog Marty a herbal flea collar and I put it on him when we got home .
Within half a hour I had a horrible headache and my dog was acting strange . I looked up the herbs and found out pennyroyal oil is toxic to dogs and can give you headache. I called the store and was told I could not get my money back , so I called the company that made the collar and after speaking to the guy for awhile he agreed to call the store and have them pay me back my money . I told the store and company I was shocked that would use something toxic for pets in their flea collar.
