Calendula does have some salicylic acid, which is also in aspirin, and is good for relieving pain. In general it has amazing healing powers due to its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal and astringent properties. Very similar to colloidal silver in that sense.

Calendula tincture is beneficial to cats and dogs for the reversal of numerous skin and tissue conditions. Calendula soothes dog skin irritations while replenishing elasticity and promoting new skin tissue growth.
For cats we recommend to use calendula with some caution; because the calendula flower does contain those small amounts of salicylic acid, it can be potentially harmful to cats when used regularly.
However, internal short term use of calendula, will in most cases be very helpful for cats, but longer-term usage could be a problem.
Topical treatment with calendula is highly recommended however. Wounds as minor as flea bites or scratches disappear quickly with a dab of calendula oil or salve.
Suggested dose is 1/2 to 2 mls per 20 pounds, in divided doses three times daily. You might think about the high end if using alone, and the low end in formula – and don’t use alcohol tincture if a dog has reflux, ulcerative colitis, or liver disease. In those cases use glycerite or water-based infusions.
