- Overall household exposure and ingestion factors for adult dogs.
- Floor-contact residue, irritation and drying-time considerations.
- Fragrance load, aerosols and airborne irritation.
- How exposure lands on toys, bowls, floors and surfaces dogs mouth on. Higher = lower risk.
- Biodegradability, aquatic considerations and packaging.
- Whether the manufacturer publishes the full ingredient list. Undisclosed formulas score 0 and receive a Red Paw Alert.

- Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate — A powerful laundry surfactant. Irritating in concentrate.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — A strong foaming detergent that can strip skin and paw pads.
- Ethanol — Drying alcohol. Evaporates quickly but is toxic if ingested wet.
- Alkoxylated Polyethyleneimine — A soil-suspending polymer in detergents. Low acute hazard, poorly biodegradable.
