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.
Povidone-iodine is a stable chemical complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidone, PVP) and elemental iodine. It contains from 9.0% to 12.0% available iodine, calculated on a dry basis. This unique complex was discovered in 1955 at the Industrial Toxicology Laboratories in Philadelphia by H. A. Shelanski and M. V. Shelanski. They carried out tests in vitro to demonstrate anti-bacterial activity, and found that the complex was less toxic in mice than tincture of iodine.
