My 1-year-old dog ate chocolate crispy rice. Do I need to worry?

Rarely will cats eat enough chocolate to become toxic. Milk chocolate with the Rice Krispies should be ok. It’s the dark baking chocolate that is the most toxic and cats are quite fussy, unlike dogs, and they won’t eat as much. Keep an eye on him. Signs of toxicity starts with agitation. If he should start acting abnormally excited then you may want to have him checked at your emergency clinic. Do not try to have him vomit as that may cause more medical issues than the chocolate.

Nine chocolate kisses equals about 1.45 ounces, so 12 kisses would be 1.93 ounces. Based on the chocolate toxicity calculator, at Josie's weight, you will see minimal to no reaction from eating this amount of chocolate. You may see some GI upset, such as vomiting and diarrhea, and if you do, I recommend withholding food and feeding a bland diet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.

This small amount of chocolate should not cause any toxic effects in your dog (only 2 to 3 chips). If your dog has a very sensitive GI tract she could have some stomach upset (i.e. diarrhea) but it is unlikely with that few chips being ingested.

Hello, and thanks for your question. Yes, Mickey will likely be just fine. Monitor for signs of GI upset, which can happen any time they eat something out of the ordinary. But there's very little actual cocoa (or anything else toxic) in that, so he will probably be fine. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Trixie should be fine! This amount of chocolate even if it was dark or milk chocolate isn't toxic. She could have tummy upset from the other parts of the biscuit so feeding her a bland diet for a few days isn't wrong. I wish you and Trixie the best!

Rigs should be ok, there isn't a ton of chocolate in a chocolate croissant. At most, you may see some GI upset. The biggest concern I'd have is pancreatitis from the fat in the croissant. If you see abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, or anorexia, have her see a vet immediately.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ellie. The chocolate content in the gelato is likely too low to cause any toxicity. The fat content may lead to an upset stomach for her though. If she develops any significant vomiting or diarrhea or neurological issues which can occur with chocolate ingestion (stumbling around, tremors or agitation), she will need to see her veterinarian. She will likely be just fine, but watch her closely. I hope this information helps!
