I accidentally spilled some laundry detergent on the floor while doing laundry, and before I could clean it up, my dog licked a small amount. Now I’m really worried about whether that could be harmful or even deadly for him. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows if laundry detergent can kill a dog? What should I do next?

Yes, indeed, laundry detergent poses a significant risk to dogs and can be detrimental to them. Even tiny amounts of laundry detergent when consumed can result in poisoning and other severe health problems. Dogs who have detergent poisoning may vomit, slobber, have trouble breathing, become lethargic, or, in extreme situations, have seizures or even pass away. It is imperative that you seek veterinarian attention right away if you think your dog may have swallowed laundry detergent.
