Studies done on these lamps show that they really don't do much more than a normal lamp, so it's unlikely to harm you or your dog. There have also not been any reported problems with these lamps around pets.

In-fact, the salt would even be safe if Doobie happened to lick it, but I don't recommend that. Essentially, this lamp is just as safe as any other lamp.

I hope that helps and all is well with Doobie.
