Would this be a good product to have in my pocket for emergencies. I am quite concerned about poisoning, as there are some real '*#@!&*^$#s' where I live, and there have been numerous reports of poisoned meat being left in public parks (and pets dying).
I have been working on that since 12 weeks old. I know that we are only supposed to teach SIT, DOWN and COME. However, I felt that GIVE (give me ANYTHING that is in your mouth) and STAY were important, especially when going to the park and crossing roads (in Taiwan road rules are acknowledged, not followed, so even a pedestrian crossing is not safe).
However, I have been doing it wrong. I have been using the STAY command, with the food bowl in front of her. Gradually increasing the time before I release her.
Thanks for referring me to that article, I will go back to step 1, and follow Ed's method.

As far as having the activated charcoal on hand, a couple things, IMO to keep in mind:
1. Expiration dates
2. Exactly what toxins you use charcoal with/for...for instance, IBU is something you would use it for, but I would wonder about other toxins and synergy with charcoal. ???
I honestly do not know. I'd be asking the vet if there are true concerns.

Personally, I'd ask my vet for specific drugs/toxins/poisons that are treated with charcoal. Furthermore, I'd ask the vet (whom I trust) if they would even recommend having the activated charcoal on hand. Thankfully, I live close to emergency vet services, I'd rather leave the charcoal etc. to the pros.
