In most cases it's not chocolate poisoning, just an upset stomach from the cookie dough. If you know the approximate amount of chocolate, it's type and your dog's weight, you can get an idea of the toxicity risk with the help of chocolate toxicity calculator ( you can find those on Google or as apps on your mobile). If the toxicity shows to be high you should take him to the vet right away.
