First off, they cannot swallow the peroxide and it gets in their lungs resulting in the potentially fatal, aspiration pneumonia.

For a dog the size of the breed of your dog, a teaspoon is probably an appropriate dosage. If your dog does not vomit at that point, it would be best to take him to an ER immediately, as they have medications that can help induce vomiting safely.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6PwZjg0PEDA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-know-if-i-give-my-dog-too-much-hydrogen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_if_I_give_my_dog_too_much_hydrogen_peroxide\"><\/span>How do I know if I give my dog too much hydrogen peroxide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keep in mind that you can give too much which can result in bloody vomiting and uncontrollable vomiting. You always want to use the correct amount. In general, the dose of hydrogen peroxide in dogs is approximately 0.5 \u2013 1 ml per pound weight.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-hydrogen-peroxide-safe-for-dogs-skin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_hydrogen_peroxide_safe_for_dogs_skin\"><\/span>Is hydrogen peroxide safe for dogs skin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>DO NOT use soaps, shampoos, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, herbal preparations, tea tree oil, or any other product to clean an open wound, unless specifically instructed to do so by your veterinarian.

If not, your vet might want you to give them hydrogen peroxide to make them throw up \u2014 1 tablespoon for every 20 pounds, Wismer says.
