I have 2 large dogs (110 and 100 pounds). One or both ate about 5-6 Reeses Peanut Butter egss sometime today (or possibly yesterday but I think today). They are acting fine. Do I need to make them vomit?

This is not enough chocolate to cause toxicity unless your pets have an abnormal sensitivity. Check the ingredients to make sure there is no xylitol as this is toxic to dogs. If xylitol is present, they need to go to the veterinarian right away for further decontamination. While you may not see any adverse effects, eating candy can result in vomiting or diarrhea. Watch both your pups very closely for any adverse effects and have them seen by the veterinarian if needed. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
