Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How likely Ziggy is to be affected by this depends on how much chocolate he ingested relative to his weight. If it the typical size of galaxy minstrels made how they are typically made, then it is likely that Ziggy will be fine. It really comes down to how much was ingested. Some of the clinical signs that can be noted include gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and diarrhea all the way down to even neurologic signs such as tremors and seizures and cardiac arrhythmias in severe cases. I recommend that you have Ziggy evaluated by your veterinarian if you think that the amount he ate is too much based on the galaxy minstrels being bigger than typical or for example being made of dark chocolate. At the very least, his vitals can be checked to ensure they are normal. I really hope that everything goes well! Good luck!

Blackberries are not toxic, actually they contain a lot of antioxidants and are quite healthy for both us and our pets! I see that Galaxy Minstrels contain milk chocolate. Since I don't know Ziggy's exact weight, I guessed that he weighed 30 pounds (about 15kg). Since I don't know the exact weight of 2 candies, I guessed that he ate about 1oz (about 28g). If this sounds accurate, then Ziggy should be just fine! If the actual numbers are quite different than what I guessed, post a new question with more accurate information and we can tell you if you need to be worried. Please note that even if it isn't toxic, chocolate contains sugar which can cause hyperactivity, nausea, and diarrhea, and I would not recommend giving Ziggy any more!
