Flagged ingredients

Caution
Pesticide actives: geraniol and cornmint oil kill fleas, flea eggs, larvae and ticks by contact. It is a pesticide for carpets and bedding, not something to apply to an animal. see the evidence
Caution
Crystalline silica dust: the inert base is mostly diatomaceous earth, a fine silica powder you sprinkle at floor level and then vacuum. Same inhalation question as clay litter dust, at nose height for a dog or cat. see the evidence

Recall history: none on record for this product.

Independent testing & contaminants

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

No independent testing on file. We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data. See the methodology page for what testing does and doesn't exist across the category.
