One should always have a syringe and a bottle of peroxide around, that's for dang sure. I not too long ago had to use that little trick...
One thing about peroxide is, it loses potency over time, and especially once opened. So make sure you've got a bottle that is fresh and in regular use, replaced in plenty of time... or keep a dedicated bottle on hand and replace when it goes out of date, if it isn't something you normally use. I was in Petsmart the other day and noted that they now carry 60 mil syringes, which is what you'd use for a bigger dog (teaspoon per ten pounds is the dose I found online that night...) Cost you a few dollars and worth every penny, and should last indefinitely if it is unused in your K9 first aid kit.
Teaching a dog to wait for permission to pick things up is a helpful thing. Never a guarantee, of course.... but another little pause or safety that can buy you that extra second.
