Can I use Vaseline on my dog?

Answer by  msbee (484)

A dog has no need for Vaseline, any kind of skin irritations should be addressed by your pet's vet if any abrasions or roughness are not healed on their own within a few days. Chemicals in lotions and products for human skin are not recommended for animals.

Yes, Vaseline is not harmful to pets in small quantity. If more than a quarter-size dab is used, then it may be better to wrap the area with pet bandage, use an e-collar or closely monitor the dog to ensure it is not ingested.
