The published dog reference (1 mL per lb (2.2 mL/kg), max 45 mL, ONE repeat after 10-15 min if no vomiting) differs from the cat range. Never split the difference between species; check the dog page instead.

About Hydrogen peroxide 3% (emergency vomiting induction)

Hydrogen peroxide 3% (emergency vomiting induction) is an emergency intervention that should involve a professional on the phone while you act. You will see it sold as household 3% ONLY, and the label strength on the box is what matters for the math, not the brand. Reference data on this page reflects published veterinary sources, not a prescription for your cat.

What to have ready when you call the vet

Whether you are confirming a dose or reporting that your cat already got into something, the call goes faster with four facts ready: your cat's current weight, the exact product name and strength from the label, how much was given or eaten, and roughly when. With those, most clinics can answer in one call.

The safe habit

Confirm any medication decision with your veterinarian, who knows your cat's health history and other medications. VetDose shows published reference data, not prescriptions.
