Dog Ate Chocolate - Causes and What To Do

Chocolate is toxic to dogs because it contains theobromine and caffeine. The risk depends on the type of chocolate (dark and baking chocolate are more dangerous) and the dog's size. Symptoms can include vomiting, restlessness, rapid heart rate, and seizures. If your dog ate chocolate, it's important to know how much and what kind. ChatPET can help you understand the risk and what steps to take—when in doubt, call your vet or an emergency clinic right away.
