My dog has fragrant paw balm. How to remove it and is it toxic?

Question

So I switched from paw pad to organic paw balm do to the fact that paw pad had fragrance in it and is unhealthy for dogs. My question is now that Diesel has had the fragrance paw pad applied to him already how long will it take the fragrance to clear out of his sysytem and how can I speed up the process? Wipe it off or just let it recover at its own pace? Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 17 days old | 30 lbs

Hello, its unlikely that the paw fragrance was absorbed into his system. If it was, you should monitor for any signs of illness which may include vomiting, diarrhea, a decreased appetite, lethargy, disorientation, or seizure like activity. It is likely sufficient to since his paws thoroughly or give him a foot bath to remove any left over topical fragrance. Otherwise, you can continue to apply the new product. Hope this helps and best of luck.
