Uh-oh, naughty pup! In all likelihood, your pup will be fine. The danger of toxicity depends on how much chocolate and what kind. All chocolate can be toxic to dogs, but it really depends on the amount of cocoa in the chocolate. Cooking and dark chocolate are worst, milk and white chocolate aren’t so bad. This website can help you determine if your dog needs emergency vet care right away: petmd.com/dog/chocolate-toxicity It’s worth mentioning, however, that even if the amount of cocoa isn’t likely to be toxic, the fat in large amounts of chocolate can also be dangerous, as it can cause acute pancreatitis. If it was just a small piece, though, you should be ok. Hope this helps!

    Hello, you should take your puppy to the vet to induce vomiting as soon as possible. Chocolate toxicity can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and most severely abnormal heart rhythms and high blood pressure. Hope this helps!
