My dog ate a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Do I need to induce vomiting?

Question

Should I induce vomiting on my 11 lb dachshund who eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, wrapper and all. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 7 years and 4 months old | 11 lbs

I certainly wouldn't worry about inducing vomiting after just one peanut butter cup. The induction of vomiting poses more risks than the peanut butter cup does! Inducing vomiting at home with hydrogen peroxide comes with the risk of aspiration and significant irritation to the esophagus and stomach. The wrapper will pass without a problem. There isn't enough chocolate in a peanut butter cup to cause any toxicity concerns. Worst case scenario, Jack may develop an upset stomach with a bit of vomiting and diarrhea. If he does, you can offer a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice for a few days before gradually transitioning back to his normal food. I hope that this helps and that everything goes well!
