Povidone iodine is non-toxic so if your dog licks it you have nothing to worry about. When used as suggested here, skin staining is minimal (if at all) and will fade away naturally. Itâs non-irritating and almost odorless the way we recommend using it.
And it's safe if dogs lick the area after cleaning. It's povidone iodine, and I use it here at Natural Pet and also at home. You can buy it at any pharmacy. For the purpose of disinfecting skin, you want to dilute the povidone iodine until it's the color of iced-tea. I'll pour a little of the iodine in a dish and add some warm water to dilute it.
