Always keep straws and $100 bills away from your doggies

[bigbob]

Hide his laptop

[Hyman Roth]

Quit using it?

[1Old Pro]

Snortin? It’s what dogs do. I get nervous when mine starts freebasing.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

There is a zero percent chance any pets of ours will ingest our illegal drugs.

Gold star to the first person who can figure out why.

[gundog]

“i’m kinda curious about that, myself.”

[JimRed]

Don’t want your dogs or children to ingest cocaine? Don’t keep it around!

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

pet owners may not know what their dog consumed off the floor

There is no cocaine on my floors.

What steps can owners take to prevent their pets from accidentally ingesting such substances?

Stay away, avoid walking the dog in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Lost Angeless, etc.

My dog just grinds his teeth and talks endlessly..

[MplsSteve]

We have an already wild year and a half old French Bulldog.

I can’t imagine what a bit of cocaine would do to here...

[enraged]

That was pretty funny

[DesertRhino]

Make sure he can’t find your wallet or car keys?

[right way right]

How do they know what I do?
What is going on , did the dog die?
Really seems AI, this one.
I want to know what to do if my dog eats my stash.

[FateAmenableToChange]

“Here’s one crazy tip that Big Veterinary Medicine doesn’t want you to know about how to keep your dog from a cocaine overdose...”

Also...there probably needs to be a sequel to “Cocaine Bear.”

[Red Badger]

That was a funny movie!.............

[mowowie]

Yea he gets so jacked he he even starts picking up his own poops.
Ya gotta see it...

[null and void]

You don’t have any?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep!

We have pets but no illegal drugs.

This life hack works a treat. :)

I can only try to imagine a Corgi after a little taste of the booger sugar.
