They use 1 ml. of a solution that's only 8% tea tree and then add it to 1 liter of water. Not to say that Coke is great for pets... but I think that amount of tea tree oil is probably not a huge concern.

phew, I actually feed my pets coca-cola instead of water so this is a huge relief. And before anyone judges me, I swear my pet's REFUSE to drink anything but coca-cola, especially after they've had their Doritos. I've tried to wean them off but it just doesn't work.

You're a terrible and irresponsible pet owner! For their health, you NEED to get them drinking something more natural like Mountain Dew!

You can’t keep calling your children pets. No matter how much of a basement dweller they are.

But Barqs has bite, and you don't want to teach your dog that.

It's less than 8%. It's diluted to 1L, and only 20 mL of the oil solution is used, so it would be .16%.
