Hydrogen peroxide cure for raisins and chocolate

The German Shepherd and Dog News had not heard of using hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting in dogs who have overdosed on chocolate, raisins, grapes or --worst case scenario -- chocolate-covered raisins so we were a little taken aback when a commenter discussed administering such a treatment over at the Scottie News yesterday.

A little research, however, showed she did exactly the right thing.

My 2 year old shepherd died yesterday due to some type of poisoning. The night before, he ate chocolate...from a box of soft centered chocolates. I doubt there were any raisins in there. I was out of town and my son was watching him and our golden. I don't believe that there was enough chocolate to kill him but perhaps there is something about shepherds that chocolate would take them before other dogs? And on a Sunday in a small town, there was no vet to be found so my son put him in his truck with his head in his lap and took him up to NY. Caine died before he could get him there. Please...tell me it was probably something else.
