How much chocolate can a dog eat?

Easter is upon us which means many households and families will have extra chocolate stashed away or sitting about the house. For humans it may be a fun time of year, for our pets it could be a potentially life threatening situation…

Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine, which is poisonous to dogs. Use this handy chocolate toxicity calculator for dogs to work out whether your dog has eaten a potentially toxic amount. Please note symptoms typically occur between four and 24 hours after your dog has eaten chocolate, though assessment and treatment may be required immediately.
