Your dog may have come into contact with Cutter backyard bug control, which can potentially be harmful if ingested. Monitoring your pet for any adverse reactions is important.
- Observe your dog for any signs of illness or distress
- Contact a veterinarian if you notice symptoms like vomiting or lethargy
- Consider rinsing the area where your dog may have licked
While Cutter backyard bug control is designed to be effective at repelling insects, it contains chemicals that can be harmful to pets if ingested in sufficient quantities. Common symptoms resulting from exposure may include drooling, stomach upset, or lethargy. It's always a good idea to keep pets away from treated areas until the product has fully dried, ideally for at least 24 hours. If your dog shows any concerning symptoms or behaves unusually, please consult a veterinarian.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
