Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It depends on the ingredients in it though none of them tend to be harmful to dogs so Whiskey should be ok. However, I would encourage you to get a flea preventative/treatment product such as Bravecto or Frontline plus for example. Good luck and have a great day!
