Should I worry if my large dog ate a little semi-sweet chocolate?

Question

My 70 lb dog ate maybe 3 oz of semi sweet chocolate. No symptoms. Should I get him in or just keep an eye on him for now? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 72 lbs

Normally, such a small amount of semi-sweet chocolate in a 70 lb dog should not be enough to be dangerous. He might have a mild upset stomach, but I would not expect to see any serious problems. To be safe, you can monitor for any more serious symptoms like muscle tremors or seizures over the next few hours, and take him to the vet for an exam if you have any concerns.
