Thank you Catherine, because I didn't know that.
But most of those liniments and joint/muscle creams all say on them "toxic if ingested" and "wash hands after use."
If ever I needed to use any of them (Deep Heat, and Tiger Balm etc) when I had Misty (which I did!) I would never use the sprays because I didn't want her to breathe it in. And I would use the liniment in the next room, always washing my hands well after using it before doing anything else.
I guessed if it was toxic for us to eat it might be even worse for an animal.
Fortunately Misty wasn't the slightest bit interested in eating inedible things or experimenting by chewing on things. But many dogs do, and especially pups!
It stands to reason that ALL human medicines, even if they are natural, like Tiger Balm, should be kept away from animals!
