Are lavender and other essential oils toxic to cats?

Yes,  essential oils like lavender and tea tree can be toxic to cats when used in their pure, undiluted form. However, at NHV, we take pet safety very seriously. That’s why in products like the NHV Target Spray and NHV Coco Furcare, where lavender is used, the essential oils are highly diluted and formulated under veterinary supervision to ensure they’re safe for external use on cats.

These formulations are designed to help with skin irritation and coat health and are used topically. Of course, we always recommend using them as directed and avoiding application near the eyes, mouth, or any open wounds.

You can rest assured that all of our products are designed with your furkiddo’s safety in mind, even the more sensitive ones.
