• Shelf Life: 2-3 years when properly stored; 1-2 years after opening
• Quality Check: Fresh oil is pale yellow to clear; darkening or musty smell indicates oxidation - discard for topical use, still okay for cleaning

Cats: ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED. Tea tree is highly toxic to cats. Cats lack enzymes to metabolize it and can experience severe toxicity even from diffusion or topical application. Never use around cats.

Birds: TOXIC. Never use around birds. Their sensitive respiratory systems cannot tolerate tea tree vapors.

Small Pets: Not recommended for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets. Risk of toxicity too high.
