Require flea treatment packaging to include warnings about toxicity

Closed 75 signatures

What the petition asks

Some flea treatments can be toxic to dogs if ingested. The government need to make it a legal requirement for manufacturers of these treatments to put more prominent warnings in large text on their products if they can be harmful to dogs when ingested.
Our puppy needed life-saving treatment from the emergency vet after coming into contact with our cat's flea treatment.
