Tonight I noticed a piece of a grape on the floor where Sam was sitting after our 3 year old was eating some grapes. I have warned the kids many times that grapes are very dangerous for dogs, but I guess one of them got away from my daughter and Sam found it. I wasn't positive he had eaten a grape but I didn't want to chance it. I first came to this site and read about hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. I called the emergency vet and they said it might work, it might not. I told them I would give it a shot and if he didn't vomit then I would bring him in.

I gave him about 1 tsp. or a little less and he weighs about 7 pounds. I took him outside and within about 5 minutes he threw up twice. It worked! Within 3 minutes of that, he was back running around like nothing even happened! He ate some more food and drank some water and now he is back to his chewing little self!

I would suggest this for anyone who suspects their little baby ate something harmful. Worked like a charm! once again, I love this site!!
