My husband & I both use Arnica gel on our knees. If we give our dog a homeopathic remedy, & then he licks our knees or our hands when they have residue of the gel, will that negate or affect his remedy in any way?

Great question! The answer is incumbent on when the gel was applied, what potency the Arnica is, as well as when the homeopathic remedy was administered (and which remedy it was).
It's usually safer to avoid exposure to more than one remedy at a time (whether orally or otherwise).
In this particular situation, it is OK as you had mentioned the details elsewhere.
Have a great night.
