Pets are pretty much immune but: (Quote)
Can I get the rash from my pets?

Yes. Since the animals' fur protects their skin from the poison oil, they won't get a rash. However, the oil will remain on their fur and will contaminate you when you touch them. Removal of the poison oil from your pet with a thorough, effective cleanser will help avoid contaminating you and your family with an unwanted and unsuspected rash.

Me: I use Naptha's soap on the dogs to cut the oil. When I'm done in the garden, I use it as a precaution to wash up with. Now trying to wash a cat...!!!!
