This can be dangerous if  the dog licks it gets it in eyes  int this day and age people use a drop it is way less harmful and generally not fatal to as many dogs as flea dips can be.. Your dog should not be sleepy..watch it closely for hours..make sure that c**p is very very well rinsed off the dog..  be prepared for a possible bad outcome have a vet in mind that does emergency work..if you see anything at all out of the ordinary please get your dog to a vet immediatly.  I had a dog years ago die from being flea dipped..This was a very long time ago but watch it closely! It may be okay,,but the dog shuld not be sleepy unless it was a wrestling match to have the bath...Good luck

Answer 2

Flea dip is no longer a very safe method of controlling fleas on a dog.  Try a spot-on product instead.

I would recommend immediately bathing your dog and washing twice with shampoo or even dish soap if that is all you have on hand.  She may be developing an allergic reaction or worse from the concentration of the dip.

Answer 3

I am assuming you mean a flea dip.  No she shouldnt be that sleepy and if she is it may not be from the dip, but from the experience.  Any thing out of routine can stress a dog and make them very tired.

Answer 4

what do u mean? dipping?

Answer 5

No. I'd see a vet.  She may be overdosed.  Small dogs are easy to OD on the pesticides in the dip.  If you mixed it too strongly, or it is an over the counter med, she may be in serious trouble.

Answer 6

If you're talking about flea dip? It's dangerous for a puppy. Did she injest it? Read the box and call a vet!

Answer 7

What does dipping your dog mean? Flea dip"?

This is the modern age. Get some flea repellent ( advantage).

Answer 8

If you dipped her because she had a lot of fleas and they are now dead, she may be so grateful they are not biting that she is finally getting rest.

I have seen this for myself when helping others dip their dogs that were infested with fleas.  The dog when the fleas died, just relaxed and went sound asleep for hours.

Just make sure she is o.k. and let her rest.
