There is a big debate over this. Grain alcohol is the main ingredient besides water.

TLC's board certified animal dentist told her that with the amount of alcohol, it would be possible to make a small dog drunk I guess. The thread is here somewhere. Obviously it is dose dependent but some of us just aren't comfortable giving an alcohol-based product.
oh okay...I haven't had any issues with mine yet. I haven't been using it as often as I should though...sometimes I only use it once a week. I used to try to do it every day. I'm sure it could effect some dogs more than others. I usually just use a small amount when I clean the teeth on mine.
