My dog has a rash on its belly. Is aloe vera gel safe to apply?

Question

My moms dog has a rash on his belly. Can she use aloe vera gel?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

It isn't recommended since the dog would likely lick it off as soon as it was applied. It isn't toxic, but it could cause stomach upset. Ideally, the dog should be physically examined by a veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Place an e-collar (cone) on the dog to prevent licking until he sees the doctor.
