Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Since Mulan is 75 lbs there is likely not enough chocolate in the cookies to cause toxicity. But that amount of cookies could cause tummy upset or pancreatitis. If Mulan starts vomiting, having diarrhea or won't eat then make an appointment with your Vet. I hope this helps and good luck!

    Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry we could not respond until now. If you have urgent questions in the future, you can always submit a "priority" question and it will get bumped to the top of the list. A dozen cookies is a lot of cookies, and if something like this happens again, inducing vomiting would be recommended. In a dog this size, I would be less concerned about the chocolate (unless they were very high-quality chocolate chips, or there was a lot of chocolate in each cookie) and more concerned about all the fat causing stomach upset. I hope Rusty didn't get too sick, and he is feeling better.
