My dog's nose touched urine. Is human soap or Febreze safe?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 23 days old | 40 lbs

I used Dawn and Bath and Body Works foaming soap on my dogs nose. I have used dawn before but the smell of urine would not go away. She stuck her nose in a doggie friends urine. I wasn't thinking and grabbed the BBW. Will she be okay? Also, is it safe to use Febreze around her? Thank you!

As long as you washed the BBW soap off fully, Spoticus (I love her name!) should be fine. As long as you don't use the Febreze when she is standing right there, and allow it to dry completely before coming back into the room, it's fine to use.
