If you or a pet may have ingested rat poison, seek emergency medical or veterinary care immediately. Please don’t rely on home remedies — especially ideas like “eating dog food.” These are not effective and can be extremely dangerous.
- Rat poisons come in different types, and each requires a specific, medically supervised treatment. For example, some anticoagulant poisons (like warfarin-type products) cause a severe vitamin K deficiency, which prevents blood from clotting. Others can lead to organ or blood vessel calcification, which is life-threatening. The correct treatment often requires prescription medication, injections, blood tests, and professional monitoring.
Because of this, it’s almost impossible to treat rat poisoning safely at home. If a simple remedy worked, rat poison would never be lethal — especially not to dogs.
Please take any suspected ingestion seriously and get professional help right away. It can save a life. Stay safe, and thank you for raising awareness.

Can you give he coffee and milk if the dog swallows rat poison?
Giving a dog coffee and milk after it has already swallowed rat poison is a bad idea - the caffeine in coffee can be dangerous to dogs, and the dog is already suffering from rat poison intoxication. Also, milk is not healthy for dogs - most (like most adult mammals excepting humans) are lactose-intolerant, so you can induce stomach cramps and diarrhea on top of the problems from the rat poison. Your best option is to grab the rat poison container and the dog and head to the vet for examination and treatment.

If a dog eat rat poison does it get a rash?
Your dog may develop a rash several days to a week after ingesting some types of rat poison because it is having a bleeding crisis. One type of rat poison works by eliminating Vitamin K from the body, which keeps the dog from being able to clot its blood. Over time, this will kill the dog (and is how it kills rats, too) unless it is treated by a veterinarian. If you know that your dog recently ate rat poison, get it to the veterinarian immediately - this is a medical emergency.

Of course; the poison is still in the rat and your dog will ingest this. Since your dog is larger than a rat it won't affect it as much, but lots of dogs will die or get very sick if they eat rat poison by themselves so immediately call your vet. Never let your dog eat dead animals that they haven't killed themselves (don't let them eat if they shouldn't have killed as well as it will encourage them to kill more) and don't let them eat animals that are being poisoned in your area, eg: rats, mice, rabbits, etc.

You can call the ASPCA's toxicology hotline and see if the rat poison your dog ate could still be affecting your dog. This is a common intoxication for pets and the operators should be able to help answer your questions.
