I believe that avoiding such a wonderful look is toxic. Good on you for looking out for the fuzzy ones. Welcome aboard!

You look fantastic bald! 🙌✨

THANK YOU for sharing that minoxidil is toxic to cats and dogs. My partner just started it a few days ago, and we had no idea.

We're you putting it on your dog or cat? We're they eating your hair? I'm not sure I understand the connection.

That said, you look good. So, not a bad decision or anything.

u/x_scherer 8h ago

Minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats and dogs. Even tiny amounts transferred from your skin, hair, or bedding to their fur, and licked off during grooming, can cause severe health issues and potential fatality

u/ultralayzer 4h ago

I suppose I will need to monitor this more closely in my house. My wife and mother have been using it for years and seemingly no accidental exposure for my two cats. That said, reading up on it tells me it's super serious.

I will say there is an oral option for humans. I imagine the risk to pets is much lower, in case you're still interested in pursuing the benefits.

Looks good. Theres also many other toxic things in your house. Dont let eat or drink those either.
