My dog got soaked in Pine-Sol. Is it toxic? What should I do?

I am sorry to hear about Foxy. I see your question was posted some time ago. Hopefully Foxy is doing just fine, but signs that would indicate she ingested enough to cause toxic effects would include vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, drunken appearance, lethargy. If any of these occur, seek veterinary care immediately. We will often recommend giving some milk to try to decrease effects on the GI tract if ingestion just occurred but since it has been some hours it is hard to say if this would help. Care that your vet can provide would include administration of activated charcoal to help decrease absorption of the toxins, IV fluid therapy to correct dehydration and support the kidneys, and medicaitons to help stop vomiting/GI upset. This toxin can affect the kidneys so keep a close eye as well on thirst and urination. If your dog starts showing increased thirst/urination then you should bring her to your vet to have her kidney values checked. If you want to play it safe, you can go ahead and bring her to your vet today to get her checked out.

Hello and thank you for asking your question. You did a good job giving her a bath after she had contact with the Pine-sol, and it is a good thing she didn't ingest any. As long as she continues to act normally and her skin and fur remain normal, and she is otherwise healthy, I would not be concerned. If she seems irritated by the area or excessively licks at the area, she may need to be evaluated by a veterinarian.

Pine- Sol can be irritating to the nose and throat. If he licked any, monitor for drooling, vomiting or diarrhea. Have him examined by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER if necessary. It wouldn't take a large amount of Pine Sol to cause serious toxicity in such a small pup.

Depending on the dilution, you may see some irritation in and around the mouth as well as vomiting and/or diarrhea. If Nala drank a large quantity, get her to your veterinarian or to the nearest veterinary ER. Either may induce vomiting via injection if indicated. Monitor for lethargy, drooling, pawing at the mouth or GI upset. Symptoms typically develop soon after ingestion.

If Smokey only smelled the cleaning solution wouldn't be too concerned but you may want to take him outside to a well ventilated area to get some fresh air. If he drank any of the water I would watch for regurgitation, vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite. If any of those things occur you should have Smokey examined by a veterinarian right away.

Pinesol can definitely be irritating to the respiratory tract, but if they aren’t coughing then it probably hasn’t caused much problem. As far as other concerns if they had licked it before it was dry then it can cause mouth ulcers and gastrointestinal problems, and possibly organ problems. If you have any concerns they they are not eating well or vomiting then they should be seen immediately, otherwise if they didn’t consume any then the likelihood of a problem is slim. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

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!
