We received a wonderful report just the other day from a very happy customer of Pets’BestRx. We always love to hear follow-up stories from our customers and we also like to pass them along to others. A sickly kitten brought back to health story is something everyone likes to read.

When I got to work one day this week I read the following e-mail that was sent to one our customer service representatives. It definetly put a smile on face and hope it does the same to yours.

Jan W. wrote “I bought the cat ringworm pack for a foster kitten who came down with ringworm and I can’t thank you enough. The Sulfinex and spray really work.  It took about 4 – 5 weeks for total resolution for my foster kitten, but she had it for nearly 3 weeks before that.  The vet was trying to decide what I should do to save money even though he was leaning toward the mega expensive internal medicine, which I would not give to any cat.  I gave up on him and went with your product and I am so glad!  I just recommended it to another friend whose new kitten (and now daughter) came down with it as well.  Thank you for a great non-toxic product!”

I think one of the great features of our products is the fact that they are tough acting but safe enough to use on even kittens.

More people have been asking about the pine oil dosage in our PetsBestRx Sulfinex cream. This was written by the President of Q-Based Healthcare, Joseph Marquardt, addressing the concerns of our customers.

“We here at Pets’BestRx are greatly concerned about the safety of our veterinary products, for cats in particular as they have very sensitive systems.

It has been determined by various Veterinary agencies that the toxic dose for pine oil, when ingested, to cats and dogs is 0.5 – 1.1 ml per pound of body weight and lower amounts may cause serious damage.  The average year old cat weights approx 5 pounds( and some are much larger) so this would mean the minimum toxic dose to be around 2.5 ml.  There are approx. 50 doses in a 2 oz. jar for Sulfinex when applied to a cat.  Each dose of Sulfinex contains approx. 0.024 ml of pine oil or less than 1.0% of the minimum toxic dose. Remember the above assumes direct oral ingestion into the GI tract.

Pets’BestRx has treated thousands of dogs and cats for mange and ringworm and we know of no reported cases of pine oil poisoning since we developed our Sulfinex cream nearly 3 years ago.  We believe that Sulfinex when properly applied, per our regimen, has proven to be very safe to use even for cats and the benefits of micro doses of pine oil far outweigh any potential harm.”

We have written our regimens for pet ringworm and pet mange to explain that the PetsBestRx Sulfinex is to be applied to the skin very ligthly. It also states the excess cream that may get on the fur should be wiped off with a cloth or papertowel that could be thrown away. We normally suggest holding your cat and rubbing the cream into the spot for at least a minute to make sure all of the cream is absorbed in the skin and cannot be ingested by your cat if he or she chooses to lick the cream. Another suggestion that we have is to purchase a cone collar to put on your pet for about an hour after ringworm or mange treatment because it is natural for them to want to lick the area. Your pet’s safety is our main concern.
