My dog ate 4 mint chocolate balls. Should I worry about toxicity?

You can expect mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite). The amount is not enough to cause serious toxicity in a 15lb dog, but you should still monitor for tremors, increased heart rate, hyperactivity or seizures. Minor GI upset can usually be managed at home with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Ideally, Mojito should be examined by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. Either can induce vomiting if the ingestion has happened in the last two hours, then administer activated charcoal to further inhibit absorption.

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.

Luckily white chocolate does not contain as much of the substances that can be toxic to dogs (Caffeine and theobromine) as can be found in other types of chocolate, so I'm hoping this should not be a significant health problem, however it could cause some issues based on how much Mung ate. If vomiting or diarrhea develops, or you notice a decrease in appetite or energy, I recommend you have Mung seen by a vet. In the meantime, contact the pet poison helpline at the link below for further direction and let them know Mung's weight and how much of the mentos white choco she ate so they can let you know if she needs to get to a vet right away. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/contact/.

Oh no, that was naughty of Jax! The good news is that one of these mints is not very big, and therefore would not have a lot of chocolate in it. He would need to consume at least two ounces of chocolate at his weight to have a mild to moderate reaction. There will not be two ounces of chocolate in one mint, so I would not expect Jax to experience any problems from this. As for the foil wrapping, that should pass without problem.

That’s not good! Luckily Ferraro Roches do not have much chocolate, so I’d keep an eye on Fenway for now. You may see some vomiting and diarrhea, and if you do, have him seen by a vet. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I don't think there is anything to worry about. The toxic dose for milk chocolate is about 5g per each pound of body weight. So, your Stella would have to eat about 70g of milk chocolate before we would recommend any treatment. She should be fine, I don't expect she will develop any concerning symptoms at all

There is not much chocolate in these bars and the good thing is that it is milk chocolate (much less toxic than dark chocolate). Even if each of the bars was solid milk chocolate, he would not get enough for a toxic dose, so Apollo should be fine. If you happen to see him vomiting, then I would be concerned that he ate more than the reported amount, because this would be the first sign of toxicity. If he starts vomiting, then it's best to take him to the vet. Again, it's very unlikely with this small of amount. I hope that helps and all goes well with Apollo.
