If you think your dog has ingested something harmful, like a toxin or foreign object, making it vomit can prevent serious illness and even death. This may sound like your go-to solution, but there are situations when it isn’t safe for your dog. In this article, we'll explain when it’s okay to make your dog throw up at home and walk you through how to do it properly. We’ll also discuss when to avoid making a dog vomit (and what you should do instead). Take a deep breath—we're here to help.
Things You Should Know
Induce vomiting within 2 hours if your dog swallowed antifreeze, chocolate, or grapes. Never make a dog throw up after ingesting a sharp object.
Measure out 1 tsp (5 ml) of [1] for every 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of your dog's body weight.
Use a dropper to put the peroxide on the back of your dog’s tongue. You can also soak a cotton ball in peroxide and squeeze it into your dog's mouth.

When Not to Make a Dog Vomit
Download Article
Avoid making a dog vomit if it has swallowed a sharp object. Making a dog throw up a sharp object may cause additional internal injuries. There are a few other situations when inducing vomiting is too dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Never induce vomiting if your dog is:
Having a seizure or recently had a seizure
Lethargic
Unresponsive or unconscious
Already vomiting[7]XResearch source
If your dog is in one of these situations, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for advice.[8]X Trustworthy Source American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to AnimalsLeading organization dedicated to the prevention of animal cruelty Go to source

How to Make a Dog Vomit at Home
Download Article
1 Feed the dog a small meal if it hasn’t eaten in the last 2 hours. This may sound counterintuitive, but feeding your dog a little food actually increases the chances of vomiting and makes the vomit a little easier for your dog to pass. A small portion of canned food or a slice of toast will do the trick.[9]XResearch source
If your dog refuses to eat, don’t waste time trying to force it.
Move your dog to a quiet area that will allow for easy cleanup.
2 Measure out 1 tsp (5 ml) of [2] per 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of your dog's body weight. If your vet or poison control center says it’s okay to induce vomiting, you can safely give your dog 3% hydrogen peroxide to make it throw up. Use a measuring spoon to measure the right amount.
Measure carefully. Giving your dog too much peroxide can cause additional health problems.[10]XResearch source
3 Use a dropper to put the hydrogen peroxide in your dog's mouth. Draw up the hydrogen peroxide into an ear or eye dropper or a syringe. Drop the measured amount of hydrogen peroxide as far back on your dog’s tongue as you can.[11]XResearch source
If you don't have a dropper or syringe, check your kitchen for a baster. Failing that, soak a cotton ball in peroxide and squeeze it into your dog's mouth.
4 Encourage your dog to walk around. Moving around will make the contents of your dog’s stomach mix with the hydrogen peroxide. Walk your dog for a few minutes to jumpstart the process. If your dog isn’t up to walking, gently shake or move its belly.[12]XResearch source
5 Wait 10-15 minutes for your dog to vomit. Vomiting usually begins quickly after a dog ingests hydrogen peroxide—usually within 10 minutes. If your dog does not vomit after 10-15 minutes, give it a second dose of hydrogen peroxide.[13]XResearch source
If your dog hasn’t thrown up after 2 doses of hydrogen peroxide, do not administer any more. Seek emergency assistance.

If your dog has swallowed antifreeze, chocolate, grapes, medication, or a poisonous plant and you need to induce vomiting, start by getting your dog to eat something small, like some canned food or a piece of bread, which will make vomiting easier. If your dog won't eat, skip this step and move on. Next, use an ear or eye dropper to feed your dog 1 tablespoon of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide for every 10 pounds your dog weighs. After you administer the hydrogen peroxide, take your dog for a walk or gently shake its stomach so it vomits.

"The tip about walking the dog to stimulate emesis was most helpful, as it's missing in the other links I've read. I've done this before, and just put the dog in her kennel and she never puked after two tries. We went to the vet and on the ride there, her kennel kind slid off the back seat and tumbled around. Next thing I smell is chocolate! The rough ride made her puke, she was covered in chocolate! At least it didn't smell bad. I probably could have avoided the vet visit."..." more Rated this article:
