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.

The momentum behind this is incredible. It is clear that so many people understand exactly how dangerous these lookalike tubes are.

Needs to happen now. Accidents happen so easy when you are tired and the tubes look identical. Just change the colors.

My poor cat had a seizure because of this mix up. I almost lost her. Its such an easy change to make and could save so many lives.

Total common sense. Why are they the same anyway?? Stop the confusion before another pet gets hurt because of lazy packaging.
