My 18 pound mini dachshund/mini schnauzer ate a very small portion of a chocolate brownie, about the size of a nickel. Should I be worried? He's acting just fine so far and doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He ate it about 30 minutes ago.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is was milk chocolate then I think that Moose should be fine. Toxicity is based on type of chocolate and the weight of the amount eaten. Watch fro tummy upset: vomit, diarrhea, lethargy, not want to eat. I wish you and Moose the best!
