My dogs ate too many Purina DentaLife chews. Should I induce vomiting?

Hello, there is no report or warning for toxicity of these treats that I could find. Looking at the ingredients, they also are not common ingredients associated with toxicity. You can call the ASPCA animal poison control line and inquire further information about these treats and see if they are indeed toxic or not. Additionally, you may visit your local emergency veterinarian to induce vomiting if your ASPCA reports these treats to be toxic at high doses. The number is (888) 426-4435. They are open 24hrs a day all year long. Best of luck

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Mocha. I never recommend including vomiting at home because the substance used at home causes esophagitis and gastritis, often worse than the initial problem. Plus, the shoe could become stuck in his esophagus, leading to a very serious situation. You can take him into a vet now to have vomiting safely induced with a shot, or you can chose to monitor him. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, blood in his poop, anorexia, or lethargy, he should see a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

No they should pass ok. I would feed them so the wrappers get through the intestinal tract with the food. If they start vomiting or won't eat or do not pass stool the I would take them right in for an exam and X-rays. As long as they are acting normally it's fine to watch them and wait.

Hello, and thank you for your question! It sounds like Sebra is a big dog, so the most I would expect is some short-lived vomiting and diarrhea. I would suggest not feeding her for about 8 hours after she ate the treats, then start feeding her small, frequent meals of a bland diet such as boiled chicken and plain white rice. This is an easy to digest meal that will help clear her digestive tract. If she has persistent vomiting or diarrhea for 12 hours, then she will need to visit the vet, in the off chance that the treats have caused an obstruction in her intestines. Hopefully she will be just fine though! I hope this helps, and that Sebra does well!

This should not be a problem, however I would reduce his evening meal by approximately the amount of the treats. The worst that might happen is that your dog gets diarrhea or a tummy upset. If that happens, feed boiled white rice and white chicken for a day and then transition back to his normal food. Hide the treats on top of the kitchen cabinets!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Honey is very cute! If she chewed up the arm in to pieces she will likely be fine. If she swallowed it whole then it could pass in her stool, she could vomit it up on her own or it could becomes stuck and cause a blockage. It is best, if swallowed whole and it just happened, to take her to the Vet right away and have them induce vomiting. We do not recommend hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Signs of a blockage are vomiting, not eating and lethargy. I hope this helps!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Percy causing trouble while you were out. He was hungry!! Honestly I don't think they he is going to have any serious problems from this. I would be careful about how much water he consumes tonight. He can have a few sips but don't let him gulp down a whole bowl of water after eating all of those bones. As long as he seems comfortable, can lay down, is not dry heaving, does not have a distended abdomen that is rigid, isn't crying/moaning in pain, I think you are ok tonight. I would get up every few hours and check on him if you can. If any of the signs above develop, I would get him evaluated ASAP by a vet. Bloat is possible especially if he drank a really large quantity of water following his gorging out on the bones. Good luck with Percy. If he develops diarrhea and/or vomiting he would have to be evaluated and treated accordingly also.
