My beagle ate a small piece of chocolate that was in foil. Will she be okay? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 24 lbs

Charlotte would need to ingest over 6 ounces of milk chocolate or over 3 ounces of dark chocolate in order to be at serious risk of toxicity. One piece will likely cause nothing more than minor stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). This can typically be managed at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve.
