Dog Safety At Home

Video Transcript

Welcome back to Expert Village. I'm Marshall, this is Possum, this is the amazingly trained Possum dog. One of the biggest things I was always worried about her as a puppy because black labs especially, any kind of hunting breed loves to chew, loves to get in and dig and chew on stuff. A lot of puppies like to do that. One time she got into rat poison and I didn't find out until most of it was all gone. My mother actually find her with the rat poison sprinkled everywhere. She had eaten it all up, so we called the veterinarian and we petrified. She was starting to act weird like laying down, she couldn't get back up. The vet said no problem. Give her a cap full of hydrogen peroxide. I thought, are you sure that's all there is to it, but he said yes hydrogen peroxide. Just a cap full. Unscrew the hydrogen peroxide, pour it into the cap, pour it into your dog's mouth, open her mouth, pour it down her throat, close her mouth, pet her head so she knows everything's okay. It's okay. And she's drink it down. About 2 minutes, no more than 2 minutes, they'll vomit that they shouldn't have in their body out. That goes for anything. If they get into anything that's bad. Bones or anything like that that they shouldn't have in their body. You give them a cap full of hydrogen peroxide and it'll save their life. That's a good tip to know. Every good pet owner should have hydrogen peroxide kept either in their kitchen or in their bathroom. Save your dog's life. As you can see, Possum is too hot. She's been laying in the sun for too long so I put her in the shade. When a dog like you have their best interest in mind, they tend to work with you a little bit better. To make sure that they know that, you have to always remain the dominant Alfa dog. Whether you're a male or a female, whether the dog is male or female. You have to always make sure that they know that you're in charge and you have their best interest in mind. In this case, we're going to see if we can get Possum to go drink her water. Possum, go drink your water. Come on, go drink your water. Come on, come on. Sometimes you can go with them so they know exactly what you're talking about. Possum is actually just too pooped to get off her butt and go get her own water. Go get your water. If she's thirsty she'll drink, but in this case, she's not. She's just tired. I thought she was just thirsty and she's not. Maybe we'll get her worn out with some fetching. Let's go fetch. Come on Possum.
