A lb. of raw bacon, and a hydrogen peroxide chaser ...

I had to do that on valentines day. Cleo got into a bag of chocolate cake pops! I did the same as you (gave three doses) and the emergency vet told me to stop. That I was out of time and giving the peroxide now was only harming her. Well, like Flyer, it was about an hour before she threw it all back up again.
 
I did this with my mini doxie a couple months ago after she ate one of my vitamins right under my nose. I freaked out, the melatonin has zylitol and that can be poisonous and she's so tiny. I gave her a teaspoon or so through a turkey baster and nothing happened. I waited and gave her half a cookie and success! She brought it all up. So we had a panic at midnight and then followed with a bath.

Turns out, it was like 5 grams would be a fatal dose for her weight, she ate one melatonin, which weighed maybe 1/3 of a gram. So I overreacted but I'd do it again just to be sure.
 
I just put out $700 on a dog who ate about a pound and a half of cat food and assorted dog treats. He bloated (no torsion), and got to spend the night at the vets office to make sure everything moved appropriately. I have never given peroxide, and in my case, my vet did not think it was a good idea given the sheer quantity.

I'm so glad the evidence was, um, ejected.You all may recall Annie Laurie and the 29 chocolate covered cherry cordials.
 
My Riley got well acquainted with peroxide chasers as a puppy. I think that's why he learned to check with me before going for something on the floor. As a pup he swallowed an antacid, a prescription antihistamine, a sausage he found in the park (there was several cases of antifreeze laced foods being left around parks at the time), and there was the time he ate something I never did figure out. My dog is a puker to begin with though so 3 out of 4 times I didn't even get the first dose in before he vomited. The last time took longer so I called the vet and was told to give him a second dose and take him outside to run around. Vet said the movement makes the peroixide fizz like soda when it's mixed with the stomach contents and therefore speeds up the process. The last time Riley stole something it was a turkey bone at Christmas (my sister took the garbage bag out of the bin and left it open on the floor). It is important to call the vet and in this case the vet said not to induce vomiting as any damage to the esophagus is harder to repair than damage to the stomach or intestines. Instead of peroxide I was told to feed him lots of soft food to cushion the bone and then watch him carefully for two weeks to make sure it all passed okay. It finally did pass but I wouldn't want to go though the waiting again.
