dog eats chocolate

[Mr.Wrong]

can chocolate really kill a dog?? and if so how much
dog is very small

quick responses appreciated

[BongMan]

my dog has also eaten chotolate he is rather small I think it takes a fair amount.

Your pup will most likley just puke it up I would figure..

[Hot Karl]

phone a vet man.

[stringbeans]

you need to give it mouth to ass RIGHT NOW

if ya got a 20 lb dog it takes 10 ounces to poison

[KimmyCandy]

depends what kind of chocolate.....

-White chocolate: 200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog.

-Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog. Semi-sweet chocolate has a similar toxic level.

-Sweet cocoa: 0.3 ounces per pound of body weight. One-third of a pound of sweet cocoa is toxic to a 20-pound dog; 1/6 pound for a 10-pound dog.

-Baking chocolate: 0.1 ounce per pound body weight. Two one-ounce squares of bakers' chocolate is toxic to a 20-pound dog; one ounce for a 10-pound dog.

it can, depending on what kind and how much. kimmy summed it up for you pretty well.

my mini schnauzer (sp?) ate 3 of those big girl guide bars and didn't die

[Partizan]

why are dogs so hypersensetive to chocolate?

[Gusto]

it contains theobromine, which is poisonous to dogs

[dabbler]

you're all fucking wrong. CALL A VET IMMEDIATELY!!!!
it matters more what kind of DOG you have, than what kind of chocolate.

3 SQUARES OF HERSHEY MILK CHOCLATE CAN KILL A DALMATION!!!!!


and one the flip side, some breeds can eat as much as they like without even getting sick.

trust me, i used to work at a pet food store.

[Gusto]

hey the internet is never wrong!

[oddmud]

Fuck you're all crazy, I've had a dog eat an entire box of chocolates. All he did was puke it up.

[automatic]

just eat the dog and get it over with.

[decypher]

Dan, Well if your dog ate chocolate, sitting around waiting to see what to do isn't gonna help much hah

[dabbler]

so?
verdict?
what kind of dog do you have?
is it ok?

[mugsy]

i had an aikita and he ate 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies, but he was about 120 pounds.

[TheCooker]

My parents dog recently died, he had a tumor in his stomach the size of a baseball.

Poor Willy

Willy loved Chocolate Chip Cookies

[surfacing_X]

my dog has eaten so much chocolate!!!! shes not dead or sick..and she never puked!! i guess it just depends on the dog

[pillowstealer]

My dogs (one great dane and one jack russle) both somehow got into one of my Top cubbords (big dumn dog listens to the small smart one i guess lol) and ate like... enough of my Mushroom truffles to get ME high for a month... daily... and they were fine...
aswell as Every easter they steal chocolate from my sister and my cousins before they find it all... so unless the dog ate like.... 40 chocolate bars itll be fine aswell as my aunt feeds her dogs chocolate and they are fine so yea I dunno it really depends.... More than likly itll just puke and then not run around a lot for a day or so... Itll be sick but itll live
