You noticed your dog might have ingested some of Arm & Hammer's powdered carpet deodorizer, and it's understandable to be concerned about her safety.
- Monitor your dog for any signs of distress or unusual behavior.
- Ensure your dog has access to fresh water.
- Consult a veterinarian if any symptoms appear or persist.
While the powder is designed for use around pets, ingesting significant amounts can sometimes lead to digestive upset. Keep a close watch on your dog for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. Although these symptoms are uncommon with small exposures, it is important to be cautious. Providing plenty of water can help dilute any ingested substance. If you notice any alarming symptoms, please reach out to a veterinary professional.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
