Dog

Dangerous

Described signs

Drooling, sores and burns in the mouth and on the tongue, vomiting, painful swallowing and low energy, and on the skin and eyes irritation and burns. They do not have to drink from the bottle: with the product diluted on the floor, walking on it and licking their paws is enough.

Cat

Dangerous

Described signs

Drooling, burns in the mouth, vomiting and low energy, and worse than in a dog: cats do not clear phenols well, and a small exposure can affect the liver, the kidneys, the blood, the heart and the nervous system. Mopping the floor with this kind of disinfectant and letting them walk on it is already an exposure.
