Is it normal that my dog licked some Resolve Urine Destroyer off the carpet? Should I be worried?

Earlier today, I noticed my dog licking a spot on the carpet where I had used Resolve Urine Destroyer to clean up a mess. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I'm concerned about any potential harm from the cleaning product. Is it dangerous for dogs to ingest something like that, and what should I watch for in terms of symptoms?
