How to Make a Pet Throw Up

It's not a good situation when your dog or cat has eaten something potentially poisonous. Here's an easy and safe way to make them vomit up the bad stuff using something you have in your medicine cabinet.

Things You'll Need

• Hydrogen Peroxide

Instructions

1. If you haven't already, call the vet or pet emergency. They will be able to give you more specific instructions on what to do based on what your pet ingested.

2. Get the Hydrogen Peroxide out of the medicine cabinet. You know, it's in the brown bottle and is used to clean wounds and bleach hair. The stuff you have in your cabinet is mostly water, probably about 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.

3. Get a 1/4 measuring cup and fill it with peroxide. Sit your pet down and open her mouth. Pour as much of the peroxide as possible in. If nothing happens in 5 minutes, repeat.

4. Within a few minutes, your pet will throw up everything she ate and otherwise be fine!

Tips & Warnings

• Don't let your dog eat uncooked rice. That's how I found this information out! It sure looked like cooked rice when it came out, though!

• Be especially careful not to get the peroxide in your pet's eyes! It hurts.
