Help!! My 5 year old pug. BELLA thought I smelt so good she had to lick my perfume right off from me. Is she gonna be alright? I know it can sometimes be super harmful but its better to be safe than sorry. Btw. Bell weighs maybe about 20 lbs .. Im just super scared for her. She hasn't puked or anything

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most perfumes contain alcohol, which evaporates rather quickly. It is unlikely that it is toxic to Bella, but you should keep an eye on her for any vomiting or lethargy over the next several hours. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other question you may have!
