Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 years and 2 months old | 10.5 lbs

I wanted to make sure this cold care product i purchased is safe to use (see photo of ingredients) i would store this in my garage and would use it outside of my house not near my cat. I wanted to check it was safe before I touch the box just in case

Thank you for providing a picture of the box and ingredients, it's very helpful. To answer your question, you do have to be careful with this around Salem. It contains xylitol, which is toxic to cats. I would not let him have any licks of it, and if you drink it outside the house, that's fine and he will be safe. I hope this helps!
