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.
Tincture is a very good agent, but it is drying to the skin and very irritating when applied to open sores. Povidone iodine is an organic compound that does not irritate the skin significantly. It is not as potent as the tincture, but is still one of the most effective antiseptics available. It is safe if used wisely.
