My dog ate chocolate raisins, threw up. What next for her safety?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 6 years and 4 months old | 16 lbs

My dog just ate about 30-40 chocolate covered raisins. We already induced her to vomit with hydrogen peroxide and she did so quickly and we saw a lot of chocolate and raisins. Anything else we should do? Dog is a dachshund mix, about 16lb.

It is good that you induced vomiting and were able to get raisins and chocolate! However if all of the reasons were not vomited up, the raisins that are still in her stomach could be a problem. Raisins can cause kidney issues if eaten. I would contact the ASPCA Poison Control hotline to speak with a toxicologists or someone there that can tell you whether or not you need to seek Emergency Veterinary Care. Most likely if she just ate them and you were able to induce vomiting and get the chocolate and raisins up, they will likely tell you to monitor her and bring her to your veterinarian to have her checked in 24 hours to ensure her blood values are normal. However, I would contact ASPCA to determine what next steps should be taken. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have. You can also contact me via phone or text consultation if needed

    If you are sure she vomited all the raisins then she should be ok, wait at least 2 hours before you give her anything orally. if you have any doubts, take her to the vet right away, even a very small amount of raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs.
