i would never use tea tree oil as it can be toxic especially in full strength it always has to be diluted in olive oil but personally would avoid this stuff as i saw an owner on a yorkie group use it full strength on the dogs paws and the dog died as her groomer told her to use tea tree oil so she used it full strength
also if you have a cat it is highly toxic to some cats so never would use that stuff - tried it before on dd for skin issue in a shampoo and she was a mess and derm said it is one of the most allergic things to dogs the meleuca tree which is what tea tree oil is from
