Lots of things are written on labels; that doesn't make them safe. I saw a dog once with Sevin dust caked all over it's wet coat. We wound up euthanizing because the owner couldn't afford the treatment necessary to save it. A $16 tube of Frontline would have prevented the problem, but he found the Sevin on the shelf in the barn and it was free...

If it came down Sevin or waiting, I'd wait for the good stuff to get here.

sounds like neglect/abuse...as opposed to Sevin-5, itself being dangerous. Any product can be misused, including Provent-a-mite.

btw...you saw a dog once, and then we ended up euthanizing it? So you caught a dog? or saw a dog? or someone brought a dog to you? in this condition? And you euthanized it? sorry if I am unfamiliar with your occupation/history, etc.

edit: i see you are a vet tech/cat and dog rescue
