Warning

Http://naturalhealthtechniques.com/hydrogen-peroxide-medical-miracle.htm "Dogs and chickens have low catalase levels so they have a POOR TOLERANCE to H2O2. You can kill them with hydrogen peroxide if you are not careful (especially when giving it intravenously). These species develop pulmonary edema and methemoglobinemia with peroxide use. They taught us in veterinary school that giving 3% (over the counter strength) hydrogen peroxide was one technique to use to get a dog to vomit."

Please people!!! DO NOT USE 12% or 35% FOOD GRADE peroxide on your dog or cat whether you put it on her skin or teeth. It can burn and damage healthy tissues not just unhealthy ones and remove tooth enamel. Please ONLY USE FOOD GRADE H2O2 internally (because the regular peroxide has metals and other trace elements in it) which also why you should only put it in DISTILLED water as well and NOT tap or spring water. Finally, ONLY USE 3% food H2O2 for animals. It is unbelievable how many post I read (not here) that people use 12% on their pet and don't even know that they have to use DISTILLED water.

I am taking H2O2 and if you don't know what you are doing you can BURN yourself literally inside and out with food grade H2o2!!!! This what I found in regards to the H2O2 DOSAGE FOR PETS: "For small animals (dogs and cats) use 1 oz. 3% H2O2 to 1 qt. of distilled drinking water." "3% food grade H2O2 can be added to pets drinking water at the rate of 1/2 to 1 ounce per gallon of distilled water." The Internet is full of bad advice from everyday people who literally putting their and other pets at risk.

I tried putting hydrogen peroxide in my dog's water bowl for her very foul breath - guessing gums/tooth decay, but she has been very sick too. Anyway, I tried it and she threw up about 4 minutes later. Then I read how to make a dog throw up is to give them hydrogen peroxide? so I am confused and won't be using that anymore. Also- do NOT use it Full Strength on the gums!! Will burn!!

Our eight-year-old Jack Russell Terrier had very bad breath and ugly black-stain teeth for most of her life. We tried everything, chopping parsley and adding it to her food, brushing her teeth with pet toothpaste, Greenies which gave her hemorrhoids, tried getting the Vet to clean her teeth but he never did, and everything we tried, failed. That is until I tried a drop of hydrogen peroxide. Now I've gradually worked up to adding an eye-dropper full (5-8 drops) to her water bowls daily, and her breath and teeth have improved much to our amazement. Her black teeth are now pure white, her breath is fresh and she seems to have a lot of new energy. Now I'm ready to give it a try myself for my arthritis.
