My dog's nose touched urine. Is human soap or Febreze safe?

As long as you washed the BBW soap off fully, Spoticus (I love her name!) should be fine. As long as you don't use the Febreze when she is standing right there, and allow it to dry completely before coming back into the room, it's fine to use.

What floor cleaners are safe for my puppy? Are Dettol or Lizol okay?

All of the cleaning products you mentioned are OK for cleaning the floors. Make sure it is not too concentrated and is dry before the puppy is on the floor and there should not be any worry about it irritating his skin. I hope that helps and all is well with Arjun.

What floor cleaners are safe for dogs if they lick the floor?

Most common household cleaners are safe when diluted according to the instructions. For example, properly diluted PineSol - if Lucy drank straight from the mop bucket, she would likely have vomiting and diarrhea, but it is unlikely to be fatal. So if you keep her out of the mop bucket and attempt to keep her away from the floors until they are dry, you should be fine!

PetSmile alternatives & is Dawn dish soap safe for dog paws?

Nikki is adorable! Thanks for including pictures! Yes, PetSmile is expensive, but it is one of the only toothpastes to actually be approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here is a list of their approved products. http://www.vohc.org/VOHCAcceptedProductsTable_Dogs.pdf PetSmile is what I use with my dogs. (Last year they ran a 25% off sale before Christmas, so I stocked up!) Yes, it is fine to use Dawn on Nikki's feet daily, but I suspect any gentle cleaner would be fine as well. You may have to experiment to find the best shampoo for her. I have been very pleased with EarthBath products, so you might want to try their Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo for itch relief. https://earthbath.com/product/oatmeal-aloe-shampoo/ There are also prescription itch relief shampoo and conditioner products if needed that you can talk to your vet about. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

How to disinfect my home after parvo exposure to protect my dog?

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! If your dog at home is vaccinated he should be fine. It he isn’t have your family do that before you get home. Get disinfectant wipes and wipe down your dorm, bleach the bottom of the shoes you wore and wash your clothes and bedding. As long as you are wearing clean clothes, shoes and have washed your hand well you will likely not transmit the virus. I hope this helps!
