Just had quite the fright when my dog started shaking and peeing all over the place. I counted the roaches in the ashtray and deduced that he ate three of them, leading to what the emergency vet called “cannabis toxicosis”. Come to find out, weed is wildly toxic to our dog friends. I know some people like getting their dogs baked, and I’m not here to judge, but please think twice. Fortunately my dog friend will be just fine after he sleeps it off, but he’s clearly uncomfortable and my heart breaks for him. Take care of your dogs.
Just for the record, cannabis alone isn’t very likely to kill your dog, although it will make them very uncomfortable. And uncontrolled urination is a very common side effect. And I’m going to judge, don’t give your pets cannabis. It’s abuse.
Also, some sugar free edibles also contain Xylitol, which is always a worry, and shows up in many common things. For example, Trident gum contains 0.17mg in each piece. With an ld50 of 0.1mg/kg a 10kg dog could die from eating 6-7 pieces of gum. Many sugar free peanut butters also contain xylitol.
The moral of the story is keep dangerous things (including cannabis) away from your dogs, and know what stuff is dangerous, since danger can be hiding in many common items.
