According to the ASPCA, petroleum jelly is not poisonous to dogs, though, if ingested, can have a laxative effect on the dog. If inhaled (snorted in while the dog is eating it or during vomiting), there is a minor risk that the dog will develop aspiration pneumonia.
Short answer: I wouldn't use it. Dogs groom themselves by licking themselves. If you put petroleum jelly on your dog's dry skin, he or she will most likely lick it off, resulting in a long night of diarrhea. Salmon Oil or Evening Primrose Oil offer extra vitamins that help keep a dog's skin and hair soft and healthy. These two oils are completely natural and only need a few drops into the dog's food each day for a noticeable effect.

Is it safe to use vaseline petrolium jelly during intercourse?
If you're having sex with a woman vaginally then it is not at all safe to use petroleum jelly as this is difficult for the vagina to clean out so can trap bacteria and dirt within the vagina leading to increased risk of infection. Petroleum jelly is also a barrier cream, it keeps moisture in the skin it's on but at the same time doesn't let any additional moisture in - the mucus membranes of the vagina are very delicate so need moisture to keep them protected, petroleum jelly may result in vaginal tissues becoming dry and damaged so increasing risks of TSS and STD's. Besides all this, it's a byproduct of crude oil - who wants that on their genitals!?
