If my children or pets come in contact with toilet bowl water that has 2000 Flushes Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner in it, is it safe? Bowl water treated with 2000 Flushes Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner is not harmful to children or pets. However, it is not recommended that pets drink from the toilet.
Hi There, I am Dr. Denise and I am glad to assist you. Fortunately the products like 2000 flushes blue are not toxic in the toilet bowl to pets or children but it is advised that the dog not drink the water routinely.
Be sure to contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center if more than mild stomach upset develops. If your pet manages to ingest the disc or tablet that goes into the toilet directly, the results can be much more serious. Many of these products can cause burns in the mouth and the throat.
While a lethal dose of sodium hypochlorite in dogs is not established in the veterinary literature, extrapolation from a reported lethal dose of sodium chloride of 3.7 g/kg in dogs may be considered. 5 For example, a 40-lb (18-kg) dog would have to ingest about 67 g of sodium chloride to attain this lethal dose.
The concern with the ingestion of toilet cleaner is that it can cause irritation/ulceration of the oral cavity and upper gastrointestinal tract. Inducing vomiting is not indicated. If he only took a small lick, he will likely be fine, but, as a precaution, I recommend rinsing his mouth.
What happens if my dog licks a cleaning product? If your pet ingests a cleaning product, contact their veterinarian or one of the animal poison control centers (Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661 or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435) immediately to determine if your pet needs to go to the ER.
Call your veterinarian or local emergency veterinary clinic immediately. If you think you know what your dog may have eaten, tell the vet the brand name, ingredient list, how much your dog ate, when they ate it, and approximately how much they weigh.
Clinical signs usually occur in within 4-6 hours but may be delayed up to 24 hours. Ingestion of dilute bleach may cause: Nausea. Hypersalivation/drooling.
In addition to the potentially toxic chemicals in the wipe, it may pose a risk of obstruction. Your veterinarian can induce vomiting via injection to get the wipe up and out. This is most successful when done within 2 hours of ingestion. Any longer and the wipe could move out of the stomach.
Laxatives and medications used to empty the bowels may be recommended in some instances to help remove the poison from the gastrointestinal tract. If the poison cannot be physically removed, sometimes activated charcoal can be administered by mouth to prevent further absorption by the gastrointestinal tract.
Clinical Findings and Lesions: Ingestion of dilute or moderate pH household bleach products rarely causes more than mild vomiting, hypersalivation, depression, anorexia, and/or diarrhea. Concentrated (>10%) bleach products or products with pH >11 may cause significant GI corrosive injury.

Once bleach dries, it is rather safe and I would not worry about having her in the parts of the house where the bleach was. Large dog kennels at places like shelters and veterinary clinics are routinely cleaned with bleach without incident.
Toilet bowl cleaners are among the most toxic for pets, especially the kind that clip to the edge of the toilet or sit in the tank, because their purpose is to deliver a constant level of chemicals to the toilet water. These caustic agents can burn your dog's mouth and throat, at a minimum.
Even though you may not be happy to discover torn up baby wipes or a diaper, you can be happy that this may not be a concern for poisoning in your pup. As a result of eating these items your dog may experience GI upset and even an obstruction in the GI tract.
So, this central question – Are antibacterial wipes toxic to pets? – is clearly a hugely important consideration. And unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Giving your dog or cat a small bowl of milk can also encourage him to drink and help neutralize any bleach that is still present. For most of these cases, the symptoms should subside 30 to 45 minutes after treatment, Hovda says.
For instance, the first symptoms of antifreeze poisoning can appear in as little as 30 minutes, whereas the symptoms of chocolate poisoning take between 6 and 12 hours to show up. Despite the potency of anticoagulant rat poisons, it can take 3-5 days after ingestion for dogs to show symptoms.
Sodium metabisulfite is an effective bleach neutralizer. 2.2 grams (one teaspoon) of sodium metabisulfite added to 2.5 gallons of water effectively neutralizes all harmful bleach residue.
Schmid assures that diluted automatic toilet bowl cleaners typically won't cause life-threatening harm to pets, but any household cleaning product carries potential risks—and a pet who drinks from the toilet could get sick from other water contaminants.
