Is Dipropylene glycol methyl ether toxic?
The systemic toxicity of dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether is characterized by central nervous system (CNS) depression [1]. The local toxic effects involve damage to mucous membranes and especially painful eye irritation which, however, heals rapidly [3].
Is dipropylene glycol safe for dogs?
Propylene glycol is found in many household products and has a significant toxic risk if ingested by pets. Of note, it is commonly found in ‘pet-safe’ anti-freeze products.
