Can you give this to dogs? Is it safe?

[Catlady711]

From what I can tell that medicine is designed to induce vomiting. Why would you need to make your dog vomit? I don't think that is something you should undertake yourself. Not knowing what is going on sometimes causing vomiting makes a problem worse.

You'd be further ahead to call your vet and see what they think.

If you need to induce vomiting, hydrogen peroxide is very good and works. I gave about 1TBSP per 10lbs of body weight, so for Jamie when I had to induce her vomiting I gave her 4TBSPs.

It works IMMEDIATELY so make sure you're in a safe area and stand away!

EDIT: I will add I had to induce her vomiting because she had eaten 2 1/2 of chocolate nut fudge and that was safe to induce vomiting for.

We had to do the peroxide on Reilly also, he decided he wanted to eat a large hair scrunchie, we called the vet and this is what he told us to do, he threw up immediately, one and only time I was very happy to see that.
