My dog ate raisins! Is hydrogen peroxide safe to induce vomiting?

Question

My 14 lb dog got on my table and drank the milk from my cereal bowl. It was raisin brand. There were a lot of raisin at the bottom of the bowl but I'm not sure if she ate any. Then I gave her one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. I'm firstly wondering if that is something that will hurt her? Secondly I'm not sure if she infested a couple raisins. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 14 lbs

The milk may cause some GI upset, but the raisins are a problem. There is no known safe amount of raisins for dogs to eat. There is always a possibility of kidney failure. The (major) problem with treating these guys is that you don't know if it's going to cause kidney failure until it's too late. They don't act different or ill until they are life threateningly ill. The only way to treat them is to go to the clinic, make Sora vomit if it was within an hour or maybe 2, then keep her on IV fluids for a day or two. And some dogs can eat raisins without any problems. We just don't know how each individual will react. So I know that's not the most helpful answer, but that's the more accurate one we have. You can chance it and do nothing and there is a good chance everything will be fine, or you can take her to the clinic immediately for hospitalization. Good luck!
