Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Chocolate toxicity in dogs depends on the type and amount ingested, and your dog's size. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are more dangerous than milk chocolate. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, restlessness, tremors, seizures, and in severe cases, heart problems. If you know your dog ate chocolate, estimate the amount and type, and contact your vet immediately for guidance. They can advise if inducing vomiting is necessary or if observation at the clinic is required. This may be an emergency - please contact your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately for advice.
