Clinical signs depend on the amount and type of chocolate ingested.

For many dogs, the most common clinical signs are vomiting and diarrhea, increased thirst, panting or restlessness, excessive urination, and a racing heart rate.

In severe cases, muscle tremors, seizures, and heart failure can be seen.

There is no antidote for chocolate poisoning. Affected dogs are offered supportive treatment from the veterinarian to prevent further absorption of the poison and hasten elimination, along with symptomatic treatment. If the animal has just been observed eating chocolate, the veterinarian may choose to induce vomiting.
