Answer

Chocolate can be toxic to dogs, and the severity depends on the type and amount of chocolate consumed, and your dog's size. Chocolate chip cookies contain milk chocolate, which is less toxic than dark or baking chocolate, but the sugar and fat can also cause issues like pancreatitis. It's crucial to determine how many cookies, the size of your dog, and if there are any immediate symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, or tremors. It's best to call your vet immediately for advice, as they may recommend inducing vomiting. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
