My puppy licked lime juice. Is lime juice safe or toxic for dogs?

Question

I have a 2 month old schitzu puppy and I had dried lime juice on my hand and it licked my fingers. Will this hurt him? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 1 day old | 2.9 lbs

Lime juice isn't toxic to pets, so this likely won't have any effects on Thor. The worst case scenario is that he may have a mild stomach upset from the citrus. If you do see some loose stool, then you can feed him a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for the next few days. Otherwise, he should be fine.
