I'd like to get this for my arthritic dog. Is it non-toxic, in case she tried to lick the application spot?

I don't think it would be toxic at all. Know my husband used it on his horse many times then wrapped the leg(s). You could try that maybe. I love the stuff for a bad tennis knee.... You might ask the people who sell it if it is toxic but I'm pretty sure it won't be. Then again, I wouldn't want to eat it myself. Wrap the leg after putting it on.

I use it on my dog. She does lick it occasionally, but doesnt care for the taste so mostly leaves it alone. On the occasions when she has licked it, it didnt make her ill. Hope this helps.

AND if you wrap it, please use gauze and not tape so the hair won't pull off. Good luck.

It is "food grade", and I wouldn't be hesitant to apply it to a dog's coat, but I'd start lightly on that. As for eating the stuff, I'd start VERY lightly, watching what the reaction to that would be. Supposedly, it is edible. But I'd be careful.

Apply as the others answered, but don't place where young children or pets will come in contact. It's toxic if ingested.

I have a female blue nose pitbull. She has really bad skin allergies and hives up. We tried everything even putting her on hypoallergenic shots once a week from the vet. Switching to dog foods sensitive to allergies didn't work either. The only success came from feeding her to 100% home made food. She has not had an outbreak for a year now. I can't say that this product is the solution, but I can say it's been part of the recipe for a year. We feed her meat, veggies, multivitamins for dogs, and salmon oil all mixed. I'm happy to share more info with you, just email me chrism987@gmail.com. I am not a vet, or an expert in animal care of any kind. I just went through a lengthy process of trial and error and found a solution that works for my dog.

The animal licks his paws and or fur and the wipe lotion is non toxic in comparison to baby wipes that has lanolin or baby lotion etc which may harm an animal that licks itself. That is why I use animal wipes and not baby wipes.

Not sure about it being sticky, it just kind of gels and stays..doesn't run. It would prob work if he doesn't roll. Is it a hot spot? I think vetericyn has meds for dogs that might work better.

There used to be a product like Bitter Apple named Bitter Orange. It's a gel and very bitter. It was a good deterrent for not licking. If your dog is licking though, is there an underlying problem like OCD, or is something wrong with the dog's health?

Never thought about it. It worked very well for years on relatives dogs. When my dog started slowingdown I started her on it. It has been amazing. Source of ingrediants? Sorry.

It's safe and non-toxic and it cleans great. But I would check with your local health department first. The manufacturer could probably email you a MSDS (material safety data sheet) to submit to your agency.

they make some specifically for humans, some for dogs/cats - I wouldn't recommend using same as human for them. we use NaturVet Glucosamine DS with Chondroitin Stage 1 joint care for our Pomeranian (marked "for animal use only"). I'd check with vet before doing it. (as info, husband takes the Schiffs glucosamine - I can't because of fish/shellfish allergy, I see same warning marked on the dog's product)

As with any Herbicide please give it a few days or a good rain before putting pets out in the yard. They lick their paws and I would not want to have any issues because of it.

I would not sprayed it on my dog, I would consult with a vet, and I would asked what is best for my dog, ok. do not take a chance on spraying your dog caused it may harm him in the long run.

http://www.aspca.org/Pet-care/ask-the-expert/ask-the-expert-poison-control/spider-plants.aspx According the the ASPCA it is not considered toxic. Yahoo answers is not a great resource to trust given ANYONE can post to it. T. Phillips, I just did a google search for the same question you asked, and that link from the ASPCA was the first hit. Cheers

The ingredients say "non-toxic", but I would be sure to ask a veterinarian first just to make sure it was ok.

As far as I know, it is not intended to be used over the joints for arthritis pain, though it wouldn't hurt to try it. It is a skin cream. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I had to chuck it.

It worked on my dog until we seen her licking constanly, come to find out her leg broke just between in the opening, she ended up with a huge bump wher she was licking. Took her to vet found out she had bone cancer and we had to put her down 3 months later when it broke again. She only wore this brace for 3 weeks. I think ot kept her hock from breaking way before. So yes I think it would work, but keep eye on excessive licking could be a sign that its not arthritis as we was told thats what was wrong to begin with, and why I bought thos for her. She was a Husky.

From my own personal experience I'd say Yes. But, and this is a big but, we have stopped using all of these types of products because we were using it in our dog's sleeping area (where she peed) and she started acting weird a couple days later. We stopped using the product and she returned to normal. If your dog is like ours, he/she licks everything in existence, so you have to be careful with ANY substance like this which allows your dog to lap it up because maybe they like the taste. I've found that vineger and/or rubbing alcohol does an adequate job. Vinegar is totally harmless and the alcohol evaporates quickly especially if you blow a fan directly on it. Hope this helps!
