My dog licked chocolate. Is it dangerous? Should I give him milk?

Jack likely did not ingest enough to pose a serious risk of toxicity. You may see some mild stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). If necessary, you can fast him for 12-24 hours then feed a bland diet until symptoms resolve.

The toxicity depends on how much chocolate Napolean actually ate. Figure out how much chocolate Napolean actually ate. I would recommend to call the Pet Poison Control hotline: 855-764-7661. They can calculate the amount that Napoleon ate and accurately tell you if it is toxic or not. Milk chocolate is generally less toxic which is what it sounds like Napoelon got into. According to the VCA website: Toxic doses of theobromine are reported to be as low as 20 mg/kg, where agitation, hyperactivity and gastrointestinal signs (such as drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea - all which may smell like chocolate) can be seen. Now its just figuring out how much chocolate Napoleon ate. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Leo. Based on his weight, he would need to ingest at least 10g of cocoa powder to cause mild to moderate symptoms. Licking some that was on your shirt should not cause any problems. I hope this helps!

Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Milk chocolate is less toxic than dark chocolate and it is dose - dependent. In smaller doses it my just cause vomiting and diarrhea. In larger doses it can cause neurological signs and even death. So if he ate a large amount, I would take him to the veterinarian so they can induce vomiting and get it out if his system.

Considering her weight few laps of it (especially if not dark chocolate) should not provoke any toxicity. I would monitor her for the next hours and if showing any signs (restless/generally unsettled, breathing abnormally, vomiting, diarrhoea) a check up would be needed.

1 oz (about 30 g) would be needed for Chester to really have any problems. The container says that 5 TBsp = 41 g, so he would have to consume 4 or so tablespoons to have a problem. I think he should be ok with just a few flakes. Thank you for using Pet Coach and enjoy your hot chocolate!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. No, I would not recommend giving him chocolate. While dark chocolate and bakers chocolate will be the most toxic, milk chocolate can cause problems for a dog as well. Even if he is not given enough to cause toxicity, he can experience gastrointestinal upset from it. So it is best to avoid all together. I hope this information helps!
