Essential oils for cats are a controversial topic - I'm wondering what you think of essential oil based flea and tick treatments for cats. Vet's Best has a spray formulated for cats, but I'm uncertain about the use of peppermint oil and oil of cloves. What's your take?

My take is that all essential oils are potentially very dangerous for cats so i would never take the chance. in addition and from experience, these products do not work to protect dogs from ticks and fleas so i strongly doubt they would work on cats.
