How to SAFELY make your dog vomit at home (and when not to!)

[@reb8910]

My corgi mix ate a chicken bone and all the vets in our city were closed as it is the weekend. However we called an emergency vet and he advised that all we need to do is make sure our dog pukes. We gave him a small dosage of the hydrogen peroxide and within 3 mins he puked everything up and is completely fine

And probably feels like the longest of 11 weeks for you as well David 💔. Appreciate your continued support despite the loss of your two boys

Great information but it tended to concentrate on substances rather than foreign body type ingestion. Sharp objects mentioned but millions of dogs swallow socks/hair scrunchies/chunks of fabric/chunks of soft toys/stuffing - soft items basically. Is inducing vomiting ok in these instances?

[@OurPetsHealth]

yes, for the most part - many a sock have I retrieved via vomiting!

i gave peroxide to one of my cats to make her throw up some dental floss she ate. Took about 5 minutes

[@OurPetsHealth]

Great that it worked! I often say that cats were put on this world to test us because they very often don't follow the textbook!

Did u use hydrogen peroxide for human?

[@spacecatboy2962]

@@stemgbawarladyheartd.8871 no, never tried it on a human. I guess there is some danger if you have a sore in your belly, you dont want foaming in your blood system

My 5 month old husky ate a reusable plastic bag would vomiting help or would it make it worse

My mastiff puppy 76pounds got ahold of dried rat poison how long does it take I'm waiting maybe she didn't eat it we r hysterical I got her fir my birthday in March

[@OurPetsHealth]

The most common rat bait takes about 3 days to start having effects and what normally happens if it's too late to make vomit is take a blood test at this time and give the antidote of vitamin k if the test shows enough was eaten to be dangerous

@OurPetsHealth I really appreciate your making this vid and admire how fast you responded to this rightfully worried pet owner. I called a vet just now trying to get basic info and (my chaweenie was just choking on grass) they wouldn't even tell me what helps induce vomiting unless I paid them.
