My dog ate melatonin sleep aid pills and is throwing up. Emergency?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 8 months old | 26 lbs

My dog ate a bottle of ~25 pills of peak life somnapure. Which has melatonin, valerin, hops, lemon balm, chamomile flower, passion flower, l-theanine. He has thrown up a good amount. Do we need to be concerned and get him to an emergency vet?

Given that Boris has thrown up a good amount, it is best he is seen by an emergency vet to make sure he is ok and no other symptoms appear. Take the bottle with you so the vet can see the ingredients and treat him accordingly. Good luck!
