My large dog ate a chocolate chip cookie with big chunks. Is it toxic?

Question

Good evening. My 5 year old 70lb. Lab/Chow mix ate a half of a chocolate chip cookie. It was about an hour ago. He’s fine right now. The cookies had big chunks of chocolate in them. What should I do? Thank you so much! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 70 lbs

No worries about this. Even if it was a rather big cookie with big chunks of chocolate, it would not be enough to cause chocolate toxicity in a dog that size. One of the first signs of chocolate toxicity is vomiting and hyperactivity. If you haven't noticed this yet, then there's little chance he will have any signs of toxicity. If he happens to show these signs, then a trip to the vet will be needed for monitoring and medication. However, there's almost no chance he ate enough to cause any problems, so I wouldn't be too worried right now. I hope that helps and all is well with Zeus.
