[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 316244, member: 1963"] The active ingredient in 'coal tar' shampoo is salicylic acid or sodium salicylilate. It dissolves excess dead skin flakes and built up grease. I am astonished that any dealer selling the stuff would not mention that it is for dogs only. Salicylates are a member of a group of coal tar distillates called phenols, and ALL phenols are potentially lethal to cats. That's why cat owners should not use Lysol to clean cat areas and litter pans and the like. It can make them ill if they lick it off their paws or fur. Call around to local vets and see what shampoos they have available. The specialty shampoos are quite expensive for a bottle but can actually be diluted for use. [/QUOTE]
