How to Make a Dog Vomit Using Hydrogen Peroxide
If you're a dog owner, you know by now that dogs sometimes eat things they shouldn't. Unfortunately, many items they eat out of curiosity can hurt them and, in some cases, cause death. Use these steps to make a dog vomit using hydrogen peroxide to remove objects that can block a dog's digestive system.

1
Call your veterinarian immediately once you've determined your dog has eaten something dangerous. Call a veterinarian emergency clinic if your vet is not available. Take their professional advice first before you make a dog vomit using hydrogen peroxide.

2
Trap your dog in a secure area, such as a bathroom, patio or kitchen to avoid having to chase it and having to clean up vomit from carpet. Ask someone to help you with restraint to make a dog vomit using hydrogen peroxide since the job isn't as easy for one person (unless your dog is small).

Give a small dog only about a capful of hydrogen peroxide. Use the cap of a regular sized bottle of hydrogen peroxide--about a teaspoon full. Administer more--around 2 tablespoons--to a larger dog. Fill a syringe so that you can use it to inject the liquid down into your dog's throat.

Wait patiently and quietly until your dog vomits. Know that it occurs soon after you give it hydrogen peroxide, but it can take up to five minutes. Look for foreign objects in the vomit and make sure your dog has expelled the dangerous items it swallowed. Repeat the procedure if nothing substantial comes up. Realize there may be nothing obvious to see if you are trying to help your dog eliminate a poison.

Tips & Warnings
Call your vet and do not make a dog vomit using hydrogen peroxide if it has eaten something sharp or extra large (glass or whole tennis ball) since it will be worse for your dog to vomit these items up.
Take your dog to your vet or an emergency pet hospital if they seem non-responsive, disoriented, confused or unconscious before doing anything else.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Minnie (9 lb. rat terrier) was having difficulty and it seemed like she needed to vomit but just couldn't. It took two cap fulls but it finally came up. Not sure what was irritating her stomach but now she's better.

Our dog likes to swallow baby socks. Spent $2000 having one surgically removed so we're very AWARE of what happens if you don't catch this in time. 20 minutes ago he pulled a mitten off my son and swallowed it whole. Followed the instructions and TADA saved $2000.
