What to do if my dog ate perfume, shampoo, or lotion? Is it bad?

I would recommend that you call ASPCA's poison control number. That number is 888-426-4435. There is a $65 charge, but they will be able to best advise you. Please have the label available so you can let them know the amount of medication listed, and what any other potentially concerning ingredients were.  I hope thats helpful, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach

Unless she ate a large amount of it (1 tablespoon or more), she should be fine. You can call the poison control hotline ( http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ ) to confirm as they will have the most up to date information if it would help you. Otherwise, monitor her for vomiting, decreased appetite, lethargy, or diarrhea. I don't expect she'll have any problems. Thanks for using PetCoach and please let know if this was helpful!

This is a question for a toxicologist. I would recommend that you call ASPCA's poison control number. That number is 888-426-4435. There is a $65 charge, but they will be able to best advise you. Please have the label available.

That was naughty of your dog to eat the sample size baby lotion! The good news is that baby lotion typically isn't toxic to dogs, but it could cause some GI upset in the form of vomiting or diarrhea. The concern is the package that the lotion came in. If it came in a plastic bottle, I would be concerned about the bottle getting stuck in her GI tract. In this case, yes I think taking her to the vet would be the best option. The vet can induce vomiting to get the bottle out so there is no chance of obstruction. I would take her into a vet now. If she didn't eat a plastic bottle and you do see some GI signs, I can give you a home remedy that may help. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, she has diarrhea in the absence of food or on the bland diet, she stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps and thank you for contacting Pet Coach!

In small quantities, most products like shampoos and conditioners are not going to be extremely toxic to dogs / cats, aside from potentially causing some mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset. There types of ingredients you have listed are complex chemicals that the majority of veterinarians are not going to be familiar with specifically. If want a full on and more guaranteed answers as to the toxicity of this product, I would recommend contacting pet poison control at (855) 764-7661. This helpline as vets and toxicologists on staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to offer assistance to pet owners and veterinarians in need. However, my opinion is that as long as we are only talking about a few licks or a few ounces at most, you are not likely to see any major problems arise. If you do begin to note any evidence of non stop vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, or coughing, report to your vet right away. Lastly, do not attempt to make Sirius vomit. Generallly, the rule is when a chemical product like a conditioner is consumed, causing vomiting will cause more damage than good. Hope this makes sense.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most perfumes contain alcohol, which evaporates rather quickly. It is unlikely that it is toxic to Bella, but you should keep an eye on her for any vomiting or lethargy over the next several hours. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other question you may have!
