My dog licked hair product. Is it toxic or dangerous for her?

Certain chemicals in hair dye is known to be toxic to dogs, but it usually takes more than a lick to cause serious complications. However, I would expect some vomiting and excessive drooling from this. If you are not seeing this within the first hour after she licked it, then it's a good sign that she will not have any toxic effects. However, you should monitor her for signs of excessive vomiting, difficulty breathing, and/or lethargy as a sign that she is having serious complications. If you notice this, then take her to the vet immediately for treatment. In-fact, if there is any concern about toxicity, then it's best to take her to the vet for treatment and monitoring. If you don't notice any signs of toxicity within the next 12 hours, then most likely she will be fine. For now, it's best to give a little milk (about 1cup) and plenty of water. This will help to dilute the toxins in the stomach. I hope that helps and all is well with Lola

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.

The type of product is not really toxic, especially in small quantities like that. You could see some mild stomach upset or mouth irritation, but that is unlikely. You can try to squirt some water in her mouth to rinse it out. Signs of a problem would be drooling, licking lips, or wanting to eat, but I don’t feel this is likely to,happen.

Usually only small quantities are ingested and are not harmful at all. Occasional diarrhoea and vomiting episodes may be noticed, but should be self limiting. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

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!

Hello there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It is likely that she will be ok as there is likely not enough garlic in the amount she licked to cause serious life threatening side effects. You may see vomiting or diarrhea, but this should resolve after 24-48 hours. If Cuddles becomes lethargic, is vomiting blood, inappetant, etc. then I would recommend having her examined by a veterinarian. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further.

It depends on the specific ingredients in the conditioner, but in most cases this does not cause significant problems. The problems are usually restricted to irritation of the stomach and intestines, which will cause vomiting and diarrhea. If he is vomiting profusely or otherwise acting strangely, then it will be best to take him to a vet for treatment.
