My dog ate Advil. What to do for an emergency when the vet is closed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My 15 lb dog ate 4-6 Advil, 200mg each. We induced vomiting within 90 minutes. We can’t take him to the vet since it’s the middle of the night. Not sure what else to do.

Is there an ER vet clinic in your area? If there is, take him into it now. Otherwise, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Please take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
