It is a complicated and confusing subject relative for both humans and pets, especially when there are so many different forms of substances, some dangerous and some not -- or dangerous when used in combination with other substances. Ingestion is probably never good (note to Max: stop licking the soapy water in the bath! ), but skin absorption is concerning too. I agree with you that a liver compromised dog needs special consideration.

I thought worrying about dog food was bad enough .
