Many vets will actually suggest giving it by the teaspoon to dogs that ingest certain things....like if they get ahold of a pill bottle as mine did once. My catahoula got ahold of some pills for my back out of my bathroom.....dont leave em sit by the sink where your pooch can see.....I called the vet and they said to give him two teaspoons and walk him for 5 to 10 minutes. If he doesnt throw it up, give him another. She assured me that it wouldnt harm the dog. It worked too!
