peroxide to make a dog throw up - Page 1

will peroxide hurt my dog in anyway to make her throw up thanks

would it hurt you if you drank it?  Ask the Vet or use common sense

I just wanted opinions my friend is a vet tech and said it wouldnt hurt them she said to keep it in my first aid kit for my dog in case they eat something they shouldnt

hi, your friend is a vet tech NOT a vet, dont listen to her, I know lots of things that if thrown back up are more harmful then just letting them in.  PLEASE someone reply and agree with me.

This is from the Merck Veterinary web site:

If you look at the site it will give alternative emetics and contraindications along with untoward effects.

I had to use peroxide to make my GSD vomit after she ate 2 cups of raisins. I called the Animal Poison Control and this is what they told me to give her. If you are setting up a first aid kit, make sure to include activated charcoal, you can get the same thing my vet used at http://www.jeffers.com . Its alot cheaper there than what my vet charged lol

Yes peroxide is used to induce vomiting in dogs.   But yes, that being said there are cases where you would not want to induce vomiting.  That is where you should check with your vet to see if that's the case.  If your dog ate a plateful of brownies, yes induce vomiting.  If your dog ate a bottle of Ibuprofen, yes induce vomiting.  Dog eats glass, no you should not induce vomiting!

Yes you can use peroxide to induce vomiting in an emergency or washing soda crystals.

EVERYTHING in excess is toxic however the risk of using the above must be weighed against what the dog has ingested.
