It's understandable to be concerned if your dog licked some Papa and Barkley Releaf Balm. While this product is for human use and contains cannabinoids, a small amount is unlikely to be harmful to your dog.
- Observe your dog for any unusual behavior or symptoms.
- Most ointments taste unpleasant, so your dog might not ingest too much.
- If symptoms persist, consult a veterinarian.
While many dogs may tolerate minor exposures without any issues, it's important to be vigilant. Look for signs of lethargy, vomiting, or other unusual behavior. If you notice anything concerning, it’s best to contact a veterinarian. Releaf Balms often contain various oils and cannabinoids that aren’t typically toxic in small amounts to dogs but can vary depending on the dog’s size and health.
