Is it safe to put human hair growth formula on my cat?

For some reason, my cat is losing her fur on her stomach. The last time that happened, she was just stressed out because we adopted a dog. When she got used to the dog, she grew her fur back. Now, she's losing it again, even though she seems happy. Then again, she's a very old cat...she's about 16 or 17 but she's still very healthy.





Would it be safe if I applied some hair growth formula on her stomach that was made for humans?Is it safe to put human hair growth formula on my cat?
I would say yes %26amp; maybe a little Rogaine.Is it safe to put human hair growth formula on my cat?
No. If you are worried about her health you should call the vet.
if she is an outdoor cat take her inside keep her away from the dog comb her fur every week check for flees give her a bath with a damp towel and if their is flees buy a spray.... my cat was losing her hair for two reasons she had been adopted from a shelter and was scared from all the dogs barking reason.2 she needed bath P.S she is probably molting.
no! definately not. if you read teh warnings on the back of the box is mentions not to use it on animals.
NO NO NO!!!!!!! She is stressed again. Maybe figure out why or take her to a farm.
NO.... Dont do it!!! Not safe or healthy....that stuff is poison to animals and your cat will die!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it would not be, human stuff has different chemicals in it that could be harmful to an animal, is it possible she could have mange or fleas and has been biting her fur off. I would recommend asking a vet if there is a product safe to use on a cat because she may have a health problem.
Would you ingest or use a product that was meant for an animal on yourself? Of course not. If you're cat is losing hair just because she's old, then leave her alone. However, if the loss of hair is due to a medical problem, then take her to the vet. The older the animal gets, the more frequent her medical check ups should be.
are you kidding???please do not do that!!!!!!!
Definitely not. A lot of those drugs aren't even safe for human women to handle. Bring her to a vet.
NO. She might lick it off, become poisoned, and die. Never use anything on your pet that is not specifically formulated for animals.
In answer to your question, no, no, NO! a thousand times NO!


Last time she lost her hair, you THINK IT was because she was stressed out because it happened when you got a dog, but it could have been from something else. A common cause of hair loss is from an abscess that may not even be visible. The abscess might resolve itself, but it can also become very serious. Maybe this happened the first time and she was lucky. PLEASE call you vet and ask. Isn't better to be safe than sorry?
