OT: way off topic...

For those pet lovers,

To make dogs vomit - give them Hydrogen Peroxide.  Depending on how big the
dog is, the more you feed...

Three percent hydrogen peroxide (NOT hair coloring strength peroxide) is
quite effective in making dogs and cats vomit. You must be sure to use three
percent peroxide. Despite the label indicating that hydrogen peroxide is
toxic, it is safe to give to dogs for this purpose. It is considered toxic
since it induces vomiting and therefore does not stay in the body.

The appropriate dose of hydrogen peroxide is one teaspoon per 10 pounds of
body weight. If you have an oral syringe, one teaspoon equals 5 cc or 5 ml.
Once given, walk your dog around or gently shake the stomach area to mix the
peroxide with the stomach contents. Vomiting should occur within 15 to 20
minutes. If no vomiting occurs, you can safely repeat the three percent
hydrogen peroxide once. If it is still not effective, your dog may need to
be seen by a veterinarian for stronger vomiting medication.

Once the hydrogen peroxide is given, it is important to watch your pet so
that he does not re-ingest the substance. If there is concern about
toxicity, collect and take a sample of the vomitus to your veterinarian.
