Dog ate a weed brownie
Treat this as two problems until proven otherwise: cannabis and chocolate.
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
Say both words on the call
“THC brownie” under-describes the exposure if dark chocolate or baker’s chocolate was used.
If the brownie was sugar-free, add xylitol to the list immediately.
Household logistics
Find out how many brownies existed and how many remain. Kids’ counts are often wrong — check trash too.
Keep other pets away from crumbs.
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Contact your vet for anything urgent or unclear.
FAQ
