My puppy ate Lysol with bleach. Should I worry or call poison control?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 3 months and 22 days old | 10 lbs

My 3 month of lab mix puppy had an accident on the kitchen floor so I sprayed it with Lysol cleaner (it says it contained bleach) And after I wiped it up with a rag the puppy grabbed it from me for a few seconds but I quickly took it away. She sneezed a little when I took it so I'm afraid she got some in her mouth. It was only a few sprays of it that I wiped up but she did have it in her mouth. She drank some water after and is acting normal. Should I call the poison control number just in case?

Check her mouth for excessive reddening. if it looks evenly pink then there is likely no problem, especially since she drank some water. if you see a lot of reddening, spots, lesions, take her to a vet right away.
