3. Here is the chocolate toxicity calculator

Tue Nov 29, 2022, 05:03 AM

Nov 2022

I’m a vet and this is what I use for my dogs.

Chocolate contains theobromine which is a cardio toxin. Best to call your vet when they open today.

Here’s a good write up - https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/chocolate-poisoning-in-dogs

Hope your pup feels better soon.
