* Suntan lotion can be toxic to dogs. The ingredients in many lotions, especially those containing chemicals like oxybenzone, can cause serious health problems like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and even liver damage.
* The severity depends on the amount ingested and the type of lotion.
* Time is of the essence. The sooner you seek professional help, the better the chances of a successful recovery.
