Avoid these ingredients at all costs, because they’re toxic to dogs:
- Zinc oxide: commonly included in sunscreen and diaper rash creams
- Diclofenac: used to treat joint pain
- Calcipotriene: used to treat psoriasis
Other ingredients in topical creams or skin treatments can be dangerous to dogs if ingested. Before using any cream, salve, or gel containing these ingredients with your dog, be sure to consult with your vet:
- Hydrocortisone: on its own or in calamine lotion
- Lidocaine: numbing agent
