Detergent Sensitivity

View Comments Printer Friendly Version

Can my puppy be sensitive to laundry detergent?

Yes, they can be sensitive, meaning easily irritated, by detergents and also many other common household products.  Many times it is the fragrances added to detergents, fresheners and especially, it seems to carpet treatments even if designated "for pets."  If you would relate the symptoms that you feel could have triggered your question I may be able to provide a more specific answer for you.
