Dog ate marijuana butter or oil
Concentrated products pack more punch per lick. Keep the dog safe from falls and call.

| 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
Potency surprises
Infused butter leftovers in the trash are a classic. Estimate tablespoons if you can.
Chocolate-infused oils add a second toxin — say both.
Sedation vs crisis
Heavy sedation with safe breathing may still need clinic guidance. Collapse or seizures need the ER.
Prevent stair access during ataxia.
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Contact your vet for anything urgent or unclear.
