How to Make Cat Throw Up Safely


Making a cat throw up safely can be important in emergencies, such as ingesting toxins. Follow these steps to induce vomiting at home:

  • Consult your veterinarian first.
  • Use 3% hydrogen peroxide: Measure 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight, with a maximum of 3 teaspoons.
  • Administer hydrogen peroxide orally using a syringe or dropper.
  • Allow 10–15 minutes for the cat to vomit.
  • If vomiting doesn’t occur, do not repeat the dose. Contact your vet immediately.

Note: Never use salt, syrup of ipecac, or any other substances without veterinary guidance.
