(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Shortly after bathing the dog with the product, the dog developed symptoms. Shortly after developing signs, the owner applied aloe vera and coconut oil to the dog but neither appeared to help. On August 1, 2017 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated that a low risk for a dermal hypersensitivity reaction can be seen. The APSS assistant recommended the owner bathe the dog with liquid dish soap (LDS), take the animal to a veterinarian, referral to the manufacturer, and to call back with questions.
