Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is concerning as it appears that Tika is a small dog. However, how likely she is to develop a severe reaction depends on the exact amount of chocolate ingested which varies per package. The amount of chocolate would be in the bag and that information would be quite helpful in order to know how serious this can be. Having said that, it would be indicated to have Tika evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible to check the amount of chocolate ingested but also to check Tika for manifestations of chocolate toxicity and treat accordingly. Chocolate toxicity can result in gastrointestinal signs, heart issues and even neurological signs such as seizures. If this just happened, a veterinarian would be able to possibly induce vomiting to try to retrieve some of the chocolate. Good luck!
