One of my dogs ate a large toadstool and not knowing if it were poisonous I
called my vet. He suggested the hydrogen peroxide as it is readily available
and probably in many households. It works in about 10 minutes and there are no
after effects.

One of my two labradors (Nessa) eats any food she can access. Her addiction is
not limited to edible things but also kids socks and empty toilet rolls.
The human food you must worry about, roughly in decreasing order of toxicity to
dogs includes:
1. (dark) chocolate
>2. sultanas
>3. macadamia nuts
>4. onions.
Nessa suffered and then thankfully recovered from acute renal failure from
ingesting only about 30g of sultanas.
The best first aid for a dog having eaten a toxic qty of these things is to get
it out the same way it went in ASAP. So after too many vet visits I now keep a
packet of Lectric Soda Crystals (Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate)handy as a very
effective emetic. The vet now uses that in preference to apomorphine in the
eye
as the nausea abates v. quickly.
