my dog ate chocolate..

[tikeyas_mom]

my two dogs ate a whole case of chocolate brownies/cookies mixed. We left them on the table and Tikeya got them down, they ate all three boxes and they even buried some of the brownies and cookies.

This was in the summer mind you. It was about 7 months ago.

We gave them "peroxide" (sp?) ....

They trew up all the chocolate all over the lanw so was spreyed it away with a pressure garden hose.

I learned of this peroxide trick watching a show called "Good Dog!" have you seen it??

The guy that hosts the show said if your dog eats chocolate then force peroxide down its throat (sp?) and then he deminstrated. His dog threw up.

We gave them soo much peroxide because they ate 3 boxed of pure Chocolate. ....

So if your dog eats chocolate ever, forse feed them peroxide and they'll thriow it up..

Very good advice, but give in small doses. If your dog eats anything that may be harmful the peroxide trick should work but it has to be done very shortly afterwards. Only feed 1 tablespoon at a time until the dog vomits. If the dog is small to medium size & does not vomit after 4-6 tablespoons stop & notify the vet, if it is a large dog you may give 6-9 tablespoons. The dog will ussually vomit after 2-4. And administer it 1-2 minutes apart.

What good advice!

We have been lucky. The few times one of our dogs got into chocolate, it wasn't a large amount.

Its the skin-kids (humans) that get the large portion of chocolate.

I am sure that when giving peroxide to induce vomiting it should be mixed with water first, two thirds water to one third peroxide, otherwise it can have a caustic effect on throat and stomach lining. That is always how I use/used it with my dogs anyway.

Sadie has eaten two full bags of chacolate, and we did that, and the rest, she pooped out! I was sooo glad that she was ok! Thanks for the advice!

Simba's never aten anything that's not his. He only eats what i tell him he can eat. Thanks for the advice.

iwuvsmypuppy- Oreos don't contain chocolate. Only chocolate flavouring. The same thing happened with my dog, Leather, only she ate an entire mcain chocolate cake

Same here. Well, he won't listen if I tell him not to ( ) but he hasn't gotten into any chocolate.

The other night he got into the grabage and ran off with a chicken wing. Picture 6 people chasing after a little dog with a chicken wing all around the kitchen We managed to stop him though. lol

Another fact: ONLY the unsweetened baking chocolate is dangerous to dogs. Although regular chocolate can make a dog sick just like any other people food can (depending on the individual dog's system) but it is the baking chocolate (the kind that tastes like garbage) that can be deadly.
