There really is not a toxic amount of milk chocolate in two Ferrero Rochers to cause a problem in your 6.3lbs dog. 2 Balls weigh approximately 26g (less than an ounce) and the major ingredient is fat. So there is not enough chocolate content to be dangerous for Junior.

    One ferrero rocher will not be enough to cause Bruno any harm, you can put your mind at ease.

    A single Ferrero Rocher milk chocolate candy would not contain enough cocoa to cause any problems in a dog this size. Hazelnuts are non-toxic to dogs, so this shouldn't be an issue either. You might see some mild stomach upset if Wubba isn't used to eating "human food" like this, but otherwise he should be just fine :)
