Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. No, I would not recommend giving him chocolate. While dark chocolate and bakers chocolate will be the most toxic, milk chocolate can cause problems for a dog as well. Even if he is not given enough to cause toxicity, he can experience gastrointestinal upset from it. So it is best to avoid all together. I hope this information helps!
