It really depends on the type of chocolate and his weight. If he is an adult lab and ate 3 milk chocolate covered pretzels than it is probably not a concern. Here is a link to a chocolate toxicity meter where you can enter the weight and amount of chocolate he ate to see if he needs medical attention. http://www.petmd.com/dog/chocolate-toxicity
