What is Toilet Cleaner Water?

Toilet cleaner water is found in the toilet. It contains a cleaner used to keep the bowl clean and fresh smelling. However, the water could also contain a regular toilet cleaner. These products are used to clean and disinfect the toilet. Some people allow the cleaner to sit in the bowl for a while before flushing it down.

It could happen that a thirsty dog enters the bathroom and takes a drink of the toilet cleaner water. Drinking from the toilet is a fairly common occurrence with dogs! If they’re thirsty, they’ll drink from almost any water source, including toilets, sinks, puddles, and more.

But can a toilet water cleaner make a dog sick?

Toilet Cleaner Water & Dogs

Most of the toilet cleaners used to make the bowl fresher are not horribly toxic. However, even diluted in water, regular toilet cleaners can be toxic to dogs.

If your dog drinks water that has a bowl freshener in it, chances are he will be OK. There’s a chance he could get sick if he drank more than a lick or two of the water. However, in most cases, he should be OK. You may want to check the product’s label to see if it contains toxic ingredients. Monitor your dog for diarrhea, vomiting, or other concerning symptoms. If your dog gets sick, then call the vet.

On the other hand, if your dog has drunk disinfectant toilet cleaner in the toilet water, then he may become very sick.

Symptoms of Toilet Cleaner Water Toxicity in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has drunk toilet cleaner water:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Excessive drooling
  • Confusion
  • Unfocused eyes
  • Discoloration in the mouth/ulcers/burns
  • Lethargy

If you notice any of these symptoms, call the vet immediately. This is an emergency.

Let the vet know what’s happened and give them the name of the product that was in the toilet water. Be sure to let the vet know when this happened.

The good news is that most dogs have a very good chance of making a full recovery. The key is seeking medical treatment for the dog as soon as possible!

Finally, remember prevention is always the best medicine!
