So Your Pup Got into the Stash: A Field Guide to Canine Canna-Calamity
We've all been there. You leave your brownie unattended for a literal second, and suddenly your dog is staring at you with bloodshot eyes, demanding belly rubs in the most profound way possible. Don't fret, fellow pet parent! This isn't the end of the world (or your treat supply). Here's how to navigate this hairy (pun intended) situation and get your furry friend back to chasing squirrels, not chasing existential questions.

| How To Get A Dog Unstoned At Home |
Step 1: Assess the Situation
- Is your dog a lightweight or a heavyweight? A chihuahua who snagged a crumb will have a different experience than a Great Dane who inhaled half a gummy bear.
- What's the culprit? Was it a rogue brownie? Second-hand smoke? Knowing the source can help the vet determine the best course of action.
Important Note: If your dog is experiencing severe symptoms like vomiting, tremors, or seizures, don't mess around. Take them straight to the vet!
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
Step 2: Operation Chill Out
Your pup is on a psychedelic trip, and freaking out won't help. Channel your inner zen master. Create a calm, quiet environment. Maybe put on some relaxing dog reggae (it's a thing, look it up). Resist the urge to bombard them with flashing lights or laser pointers – their world is trippy enough already.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Step 3: Keep it Simple, Stupid (But with Love)
- Hydration is Key: A gentle stream of fresh water will help flush the THC out of your pup's system. Offer water in a bowl or use a turkey baster (just be gentle!).
- Food or No Food? This is a judgment call. If your dog seems interested, offer bland food like boiled chicken and rice. But don't force it! Their tummy might be upset.
Step 4: Embrace the Munchies (Responsibly)

Okay, so maybe you can't share your stash. But a little doggy ice cream or some yummy peanut butter might hit the spot. Just be mindful of portion sizes – the last thing you need is a sugar rush on top of a marijuana buzz.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Step 5: Netflix and Snuggle
Sometimes, the best remedy is a good cuddle session. Snuggle up on the couch, put on a dog movie marathon (think "Air Bud" or "Marley & Me"), and let your pup sleep it off.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Remember: This too shall pass. In a few hours, your dog will be back to their normal, goofy self. Though, you might find them staring intently at the ceiling for a while – they're probably just pondering the meaning of life, doggo-style.
Bonus Tip: Invest in some airtight containers and childproof cabinets. We all know how curious our furry friends can be!
