The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Check whether a product type is considered safe to use around my pet before I buy it.

Fill in before running:
- Product or ingredient: [e.g. candle wax types]
- Pet type: [DOG/CAT/etc.]
- Product I'm considering: [LINK]

This is admin help, not medical advice. Don't diagnose or suggest treatments. If anything I mention sounds urgent, tell me to contact a doctor or emergency services first.

Rules:
- Cite reputable sources such as veterinary or animal poison-control organisations.
- Say clearly where sources disagree or information is limited.
- Don't give medical advice; tell me to contact a vet or pet poison line if my pet has already been exposed.
- Suggest safer alternatives if needed.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A short answer with sources and safer options.

You'll know it worked when: I can choose a product with sources to back it up.
