I am confused also. But it does make sense to have "testing" done in that the pets are under close observation for any problems. I am thinking that observation would prevent deaths. It is sad that we purchase something thinking the company who is selling knows what they are talking about and thus we trust it and then our pets are hurt.... yet I don't want testing done in such a way that anyone's or any pet is hurt.

As to the tea tree oil. I can not see any reason to have it in any product for pets.. it sounds toooo dangerous. I do understand the concept that sometimes small amounts of oil are good (the example they used is vitamin a.. could also use vitamin. d both are oil basic or fat soluble vitamins) but because our bodies sore the vitamin in our "fat" they could "build" up to a toxic level. In the case of tea tree oil it is not that the pet's body stores it that is the danger. Like someone said if a little is in lots of products what control do we have? How could we prevent toxic levels being given to our pets?
