Ok. Keep an eye on him, give him plenty of fresh water to drink, and if he shows any unusual behavior, call your vet right away. It may be a good idea to call them anyway just to get an idea of what kind of behavior to look out for. Good Luck!

If the dog would of gulped down alot of it then i would say induce vomitting, but if it was only a sip or two, and the cleaners were in a bucket of water it was diluted enough it will not hurt the dog the dog will be fine, there is no need to rush to the vet unless sickness occurs.

I have known several people that have drank bleach on purpose to pass drug tests. Granted they were large guys, but he should be fine depending on the size of your dog and the amount he drank. Bleach will make a person gag and very nauseated, imagine what it would do to your dog. if he is not acting differently then most likely he did not drink any. Plus, animals are fickle eaters and with one whiff I bat ya he would run the other way.

I would suggest contacting a emergency vet for assitance.
Watch for signs of excessive drooling or difficulty breathing. Cleaners are very agitating to the mucus membranes and may cause swelling in the trachea to develope as long as 24 hours after exposure.

To get you dog to regurgitate any time, simply take a small hand full of table salt, pour it down his throat, hold his mouth closed for a minute, Let him go and he will bring it up within another minute. If not repeat.
I have saved several dogs using this method.
Although enough time has passed I would just watch him, call your vet if you are concerned!

Your dog is probably fine. Bleach doesn't taste good, so I doubt the dog would drink it. There are 2 things I can think of that a dog would eat/drink that are bad for them. Chocolate, and antifreeze. Both potentially taste good and can be deadly.

Dogs will not drink bad water. They can smell anything in the water. Cats on the other hand will drink anything. If a cat drinks antifreeze they will die. i have had that happen on the farm.

It's not worth risking it. Call a 24 hour vet and ask them what to do. Good luck, I hope your dog is fine!

If your dog dies you're really going to regret taking the advice of people on an online forum... go to the vet.
