Monitor your dog for any symptoms.
Seaweed can contain toxins that can be harmful to dogs, so it’s important to watch your dog closely for any signs of illness. These can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Seizures
If your dog shows any of these symptoms, call your veterinarian immediately.
Try to identify the type of seaweed your dog ate.
There are many different types of seaweed, and some are more toxic than others. If you can identify the type of seaweed your dog ate, it will help your veterinarian determine the best course of treatment.
Induce vomiting.
If your dog ate the seaweed within the last hour or two, you may be able to induce vomiting to help remove the toxins from its system. To do this, give your dog 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Do not give your dog more than 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, and do not induce vomiting if your dog is vomiting or has abdominal pain.
Give your dog activated charcoal.
Activated charcoal can help absorb toxins from the digestive tract. Give your dog 1 gram of activated charcoal per 10 pounds of body weight. You can mix the activated charcoal with water and give it to your dog orally, or you can buy activated charcoal capsules and give them to your dog according to the package directions.
Keep your dog hydrated.
Vomiting and diarrhea can dehydrate your dog, so it’s important to keep it hydrated. Offer your dog small amounts of water or Pedialyte frequently.
Take your dog to the veterinarian.
If your dog shows any signs of illness, or if you are unable to induce vomiting or give your dog activated charcoal, take it to the veterinarian immediately.
