My dog ate too many treats and is vomiting. Should I make him vomit?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 4 months old | 50 lbs

My dogs broke into the treats and ate several small bags of treats. The adult dog (50lbs) has vomited twice (partially digested treats) and seems to in some discomfort. The puppy seems fine. Both have been drinking at a higher than normal rate and amount. Suggestions? Should I make the adult dog vomit the remainder? Should I make the puppy vomit?

No, I wouldn't make either of them vomit. Keep an eye on the puppy for now, and I can give you a home remedy for Elke to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
