In general, though, the darker and more bitter the chocolate the greater the danger. For instance, 8 ounces (a ? pound) of milk chocolate may sicken a 50-pound dog, whereas a dog of the same size can be poisoned by as little as 1 ounce of Baker's chocolate! Why Isn't Chocolate Toxic to Humans?

Therefore, a ten-pound dog would need to ingest more than 80 ounces of white chocolate to experience mild to moderate toxicity, but only about 0.2 to 0.3 ounces (about 6 to 9 grams) of baking chocolate. Dry cocoa powder is the most toxic, causing toxic effects at as little as 0.14 ounces (4 grams) for a ten-pound dog.

How much chocolate can a dog eat? Dog owners often ask how much chocolate can kill a dog. While there is no right or wrong answer to this, we know dogs show symptoms of poisoning when they eat 20mg of theobromine (the toxic chemical in chocolate) for every kilogram they weigh. These symptoms become severe at 40 to 50mg per kg. Treatment is required for dogs who have eaten 3.5g of dark chocolate for every kilogram they weigh and 14g of milk chocolate for every kilogram they weigh.

While both dogs ate the same amount of candy, they did not consume the same amount of methylxanthines. Dark chocolate, especially the type of very dark chocolate Reggie ate, contains a high concentration of theobromine. In fact, his estimated dose of methylxanthines is 40.29 milligrams per kilogram, enough to produce severe symptoms.

** Mild dark chocolate typically contains around 35 to 50% cocoa solids while strong dark chocolate contains upwards of 50% cocoa solids. Check the wrapper for more detailed information. *** Please be aware that while white chocolate typically contains negligible amounts of theobromine, it may contain cocoa butter, sugar, butterfat and milk solids, all of which are bad for dogs and may cause a stomach upset.
