The urgency of a dog ingesting chocolate depends on the type and amount of chocolate, and your dog's size. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are far more toxic than milk chocolate. Symptoms can range from vomiting and diarrhea to hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, and heart problems. If it was a small amount of milk chocolate for a large dog, they might just have an upset stomach. However, for any significant amount, especially dark or baker's chocolate, or if your dog is small, immediate action is needed. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
