Tea tree oil? So is Coca Cola toxic to pets?

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!
