Dog ate edibles: what to do
Secure the product, keep the pet safe from falls, and call. Edibles are rarely “just THC.”
Do this first
| Scenario | Cannabis / marijuana ingestion |

| Vet vs poison control vs ER | Call your veterinarian for most exposures; poison control helps when dose or product potency is unclear. Go to the ER for collapse, severe agitation, seizures, or inability to walk. Chocolate-containing edibles add a second toxin risk — tell the clinician both ingredients. |
Immediate action steps
- Remove remaining edibles, flower, or concentrate and secure the area
- Note the product type (edible, butter, vape oil), amount, and time
- Call your veterinarian or pet poison control for guidance
- Keep the pet in a quiet, safe space; prevent falls from ataxia
- Do not give human CBD or THC products as an antidote
Combo toxins hide in brownies
Chocolate, xylitol, raisins, and high-fat frostings change triage. List every ingredient you know.
Concentrate-infused oils and butter are easy to underestimate by volume — keep the package.
Safety while you wait for a plan
Block stairs and couches. Ataxic pets fall. Keep lights low and handling gentle.
Do not give more CBD or THC products as a supposed antidote.
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Contact your vet for anything urgent or unclear.
