Dog
Dangerous
Described signs
Mouth irritation, drooling and champing of the jaws right after licking it, followed by coughing, choking and vomiting, and on the skin and eyes redness and discomfort. The dangerous part is not what they swallow but what slips into the lungs while swallowing or vomiting: aspiration pneumonia, the serious complication with these products.
Cat
Dangerous
Described signs
Mouth irritation, drooling, gagging and vomiting, with red skin and eyes, and coughing or laboured breathing if it gets into the lungs while swallowing or vomiting. If it gets on their coat or paws, grooming puts the product back in their mouth again and again for hours.
