Cost of Nicotine Poisoning in Dogs. Nicotine Poisoning can be an expensive treatment in dogs and can range from $300.00 to $3000.00 depending on the cost of living and severity of your Dog's nicotine poisoning. On average, the national cost of treating nicotine poisoning in dogs is $450.00.
Nicotine is a rapid acting toxin and, often, pets will show signs of poisoning within 1 hour of ingestion, the Pet Poison helpline warns. The toxic dose for nicotine in pets is 1/2-1 mg per pound of pet body weight, while the lethal dose is 4 mg per pound of pet body weight. So a 40lb dog would get very sick after eating one cigarette - but would need 11 cigarettes to die from nicotine poisoning.
