My dog ate many vitamin B12 pills. Is it safe or toxic for him?

B12 isn't likely to make your dog sick, but you can call your vet to make sure. If you have doubts, I suggest calling a pet poison helpline, such as this one: http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/contact/ If it has been less than 2 hours since your pet ate it, you can induce vomiting by giving an oral dose of hydrogen peroxide, about 1 cc per pound. One tablespoon is about 5 cc. A turkey baster will work if you don't have a syringe. Longer than two hours and it will have already moved into the intestines.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Depending on the mg of the B12 pill, this may be fine. The cranberry vitamin shouldn't cause any problems. Because I don't know the mgs of the B12 pill, I can't give an exact answer. Give the Pet Poison Hotline a call at 855-764-7661. You can tell the mg of the pill, and they can advise you further. Best of luck.

Hello, I do not believe you need to worry. Vitamin B is water soluble and therefore, in theory, any excess should be urinated out. I would recommend monitoring her for the day. If she experiences any drastic changes in behavior or appetite, she should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The b vitamins alone would not be expected to cause any significant complications but the picture is not clear enough to read all of the ingredients to fully assess. Given it has been over 4 hours since eaten it has already travelled through the bowel, and is too late for activated charcoal or vomiting to help prevent absorption. If possible try to post a clearer image or link to the brand so we can assess further

Hello. According to VIN Veterinary Drug Handbook " Due to the relatively low toxicity of single acute exposures to Vit. K1, no specific treatment recommendations are necessary." However, I do encourage you to talk with your veterinarian as individual cases do vary & there is no way for me to know exactly what your pet has consumed, or if he has any underlying medical conditions.

Thank you for providing a picture of the ingredients, that's very helpful! No need to worry, none of these ingredients are toxic to Josie, and at most, you may see some stomach upset. Other than that, she should be fine and you don't need to do anything. I hope this helps!

Since she only ate 1 pill, I would not be worried about toxicity. The doses in the vitamins for each of the components should not be harmful. You may see some GI signs such as poor appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, but should resolve. If symptoms continue, I would recommend taking her to your veterinarian.
