I gave my dog three of these earlier today and I want to know if it's okay as I'm not sure it is. Will she be okay?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I don’t see anything overtly dangerous in them, though the green tea could have a little caffeine. In general, it probably didn’t hurt Cocoa but it’s not the best choice for a treat. Stick to dog treats in the future- especially if you’re not sure what something is because there are few things that are very dangerous to dogs (xylitol, macadamia nuts to name a few).

Best of luck to you and Cocoa!

My dog ate chocolate biscuits. Is she in danger of poisoning?

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!

My dog ate chocolate chip cookies. Will she be okay after eating them?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Since Mulan is 75 lbs there is likely not enough chocolate in the cookies to cause toxicity. But that amount of cookies could cause tummy upset or pancreatitis. If Mulan starts vomiting, having diarrhea or won't eat then make an appointment with your Vet. I hope this helps and good luck!

My dog ate sugar-free chocolate cookies. Is it an emergency?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Pepper. As long as the cookies did not contain xylitol, she should be ok. This likely won't be enough chocolate to cause any problems. I hope this helps!

My 95lb dog ate milk chocolate. Is this dangerous? What should I do?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Luna. While it's not good that she ate this chocolate, you don't need to do anything. The amount she ate will cause minimal to no reaction. At most you may see some GI upset, but other than that, she should be ok. I hope this helps!

My dog ate 10 chocolate peanut butter cookies. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This would be very concerning if Dora ingested all of those. If that is your concern, she should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as chocolate intoxication is rather serious. Best of luck!

My dog ate sweets. Are sugary treats safe or dangerous for dogs?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dog cannot eat sweeties for the most part because these tend to be too rich. Also, some of these sweets are made with a sugar substitute called xylitol which is highly toxic to dogs. Good luck and have a great day!
