Method To Induce Vomiting (courtesy of www.petplace.com)
Hydrogen Peroxide
Three percent hydrogen peroxide is quite
effective in making dogs vomit. You must be sure to use three
percent peroxide and not hair coloring strength peroxide. Despite
the label indicating that hydrogen peroxide is toxic, it is safe
to give to dogs for this purpose. It is considered toxic since
it induces vomiting and therefore does not stay in the body.
The appropriate dose of hydrogen peroxide
is one teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Once given,
walk your dog around or gently shake the stomach area to mix
the peroxide with the stomach contents. Vomiting should occur
within 15 to 20 minutes. If no vomiting occurs, you can safely
repeat the three percent hydrogen peroxide once. If it is still
not effective, your dog may need to be seen by a veterinarian
for stronger vomiting medication.
