What should dog owners know about Polyethylene Glycol?

Clean Wise evaluates Polyethylene Glycol by the published ingredient reference and its dog-exposure sub-scores. Those scores help describe expected concern around paws, licking, breathing and age groups; they do not make a universal “safe” or “unsafe” claim for every concentration, product or use.

What this means for your dog

Plain-language read of the sub-scores above.

  • Around puppiesGenerally well-tolerated around puppies when used as directed.
  • Around pawsLow expected impact on paw pads at typical use levels.
  • If lickedKeep dogs off freshly cleaned surfaces until dry, and store the bottle out of reach.
  • In the airLow expected respiratory impact at label-use levels.
