Thanks to Craig from MD about the warning of tea tree oil being toxic to animals. I used it on my dog, and he reacted the same way Craig's did; and though I treated him for shock and hypothermia, I did not know about the charcoal. It really works to stop the toxic reaction!Replied By Linda (West Newfield, Maine) on 10/29/2008
What you say is interesting; a teaspoon is a LOT...I've had success with just a few drops of tea tree around the spot where the tick's head is burrowed and within a few days it has dropped off.Replied By Laurel (Detroit, Mi) on 02/18/2009
I used a tea tree oil/ aloe mixture to treat a skin infection on my dog. she had absolutely no effect by the mixture except a shiny coat and flake free skin.Replied By Lucky (Somewhere, United States) on 04/01/2010
I put a few drops of tea tree oil in my dogs shampoo and her fur looked great. She had no reactions at all.
