My dog, Lou, a 7-year-old 62 lbs dog, got into a bag of dark chocolate covered pretzels. The bag was about 3/4 full of 18oz total, which includes the pretzels. It's been about 2-3 hours since she ate them. She is acting normally and has eaten her dog food and drank water since we found the empty bag. Should I induce vomiting, take her to the vet, or is she safe to watch?

Our dog, Max, a 3-year-old weighing 15 pounds, may have eaten a piece of milk chocolate. We gave him hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting about an hour after the possible ingestion, but he hasn't vomited yet. What should we do next, and is there any risk from the hydrogen peroxide?

My dog, Jasper, has allergies and is scratching, licking, and biting himself. He takes Allercept allergy drops but they don't seem to help. His vet wants to put him on steroids, but I'm worried about the side effects, especially since he already pants a lot. What can I do to help him without resorting to steroids?
