My puppy ate blush. Is makeup toxic? How do I clean it off his fur?

Good morning! My new puppy ran off with my cream blush while I was getting ready this morning. He had it maybe for a minute or two, and the bottle is almost gone. He had some pink on his fur from the blush- how should I get that out? It is so pigmented. Also, are there any ingredients toxic to dogs in cloud paint? Should I be alarmed? I can provide the ingredient list, but I have limited characters here.

Hello, sorry to hear about Watson. Likely they easiest way is to rinse this off thoroughly with warm water and make sure you dry him off completely. Potential for toxins do exist but it would be dependent on the ingredient list. Anything with lead or other minerals would be concerning. You may also contact he ASPCA poison control line and they can offer you how likely Watson is to experience toxicity from ingesting this blush paint. ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Phone Number: (888) 426-4435 Please monitor for any vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or lethargy and contact your veterinarian if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck.
