Question

hello...I have a list of ingredients in a product called Oram Plus, An all natural herb formula purported to cure gingivitis in humans. The sellers have no information as to safe use in felines. The list is rather long therefore I will first ask if you can advise me before I send the list. The product is used in brushing and not internally. I would be so grateful for your help..and my Honey [cat] will be as well

Answer

Leptospermum scoparium is tea tree oil and I saw that in the list of ingredients when I looked up Oram Plus online.
This site goes over this ingredient
http://www.messybeast.com/teatree.htm
and suggests it never be used where it might be licked off. Therefore I'd not use it in the cat's mouth.
