This is to try and get manufacturers of cat and dog flea drops (those that you squeeze on the skin) to please use different colour tubes. i.e black for dogs, white for cats.
This will prevent owners accidentally dosing their cats with dog flea treatment, something which can and does happen resulting in great distress, and even death to the cat. Not to mention huge vets bills that occur trying to save them.
It is a simple remedy that should cost manufacturers very little.

Seems like a very easy fix. And people would generally not make such horrific mistakes. I only have a dog but I mistakenly bought a lgr size then needed.

Iv known a few people who have mixed the dog and cat flea treatments up because they are the same colour. This needs sorting with a different colour so it doesn't happen again, and people don't loose their loved cats.

All medicines for animals should be clearly marked and these days colour coded to prevent accidental wrong use by adults and children. Also these medicines should be child proof if possible too.

If anyone is wavering over signing all I can say is you should have seen my cats just a few hours after being accidentally dosed , frothing at the mouth and having fits ,something I never want to see again.
Please sign and help save future accidents, thank you.

This is a very simple remedy for a problem that can have such an awful outcome. As an owner of both dogs and cats, I know how easy it is to pick up the wrong tube of wormer by mistake, especially if treating a large number of animals.
