Dog ate chocolate.

It can kill them but they usually survive. My friends dog just went through this. I’d still recommend taking the dog to the vet immediately
 
My dog ate a couple of raisins from a small piece of raisin bread that fell on the floor. I called the Vet and they said to keep an eye on her. She has no problems at all.
 
God: So, I'll be creating a new creature.
Angel: Cool, what kind of creature?
God: I will call it "dog." It'll be perfect in every way, except... it will be denied the pleasure of eating chocolate. It will want to eat chocolate, but that chocolate would kill it!
Angel: Oh... but why?
God: Because.
 
My friend left an extremely powerful chocolate edible brownie on the table, my 6 lb dog ate like 1/8 of it. (I made it lol)
I googled what to do and it said to put a tablespoon of salt in their mouth and they will throw up.

I did that but my dog was just like “wtf so salty” but she didn’t throw up.
So I improvised and got the leash and acted like I was gonna walk her. I just ended up sprinting with her down the street. Took her less than a minute of running for her to throw up a lot lol.

No way I was about to let my dog get poisoned by both weed and a dark chocolate brownie lmao. Probably would have been a terrible experience for her

That’s what happened to my dog IMG_5470.jpegthe white one from this footage. She ate a 100 mg choc bar and didn’t move for three days. So I just had her at the vet getting fluids cost me 1500 to just have her lay there high for several days.

Lol damn that sucks. At least she didn’t die
 
Depends what they do at the vet.

Emergency clinics are always expensive. If you get the dog there quick, just administering an emetic to make them puke would be only run you a few hundred dollars.

If it takes a while and they need do an activated charcoal treatment, check blood work to assess any organ damage, start them put them on IV fluids, etc, then closer to a thousand or more depending on how many days of fluids and lab rechecks are needed to stabilize the values.
 
Around every confection-centered holiday—Valentine's Day, Easter and Christmas—at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State. But in 16 years as an emergency and critical care veterinarian, Hackett has seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more vulnerable to chocolate's heart-racing effect.

11 year old daughter snuck some birthday party gift bag of a few mini chocolates and a lollipop to her bedroom.

Looks like the dog got a hersheys dark, a krackle and a lollipop.

Having watched Louis CKs bit on his dog eating chocolate, I knew what to do.



It was unfortunate to see how useless my wife is in a crisis. She just panics, freaks out, over reacts and makes bad decisions.
I love the woman.
But she sucks in a crisis.

Wife insisted on taking the dog to vet (which is fine, but I know I would have been a million times more calm handling the situation.)

Dog puked in my truck on the way to vet.
(So hydrogen peroxide I gave the dog did its job)

Vet says she should be fine since she got everything out of her system quickly.


Anyone want to take a guess what a trip to the vet at almost midnight on Saturday is gonna run me?

I think it was $900 around 20 years ago when my golden mutt Layla ate a Christmas ornament. But she needed x-rays. This visit was theoretically much more routine.

Glad your dog is okay. You made the right moves to make sure they are okay. Have to be careful what you leave lying around cuz the dogs will definitely eat it.
 
My girlfriend was looking after our 70lb dog and he once snuck away and ate a whole packet of milk cholate biscuits.

I just quickly googled how much cholate would be dangerous for him but it wasn't anywhere close.

We did have to take him to the out of hours vets another time and it cost £120.
 
I've seen dogs eat chocolate a million times with no ill effect but have heard a million horror stories. Never seen it but heard the stories.
 
Type of chocolate and amount vs dog size matters. Milk chocolate isn't as bad as baking chocolate..

...like the whole bar of baking chocolate my old dog ate years ago because it was on the counter. Luckily vet was around the corner and still open.

Lots of charcoal and vomiting and my good girl never did that again, but the vet said she was extremely lucky.

That was almost 10 years ago. She passed this year.

Whilst any form can be dangerous and should be avoided the big factor is how dark the chocolate is, darker stuff has loads more coca in it which is whats poisonous to dogs and indeed a lot of animals, humans can get it because we have very large advanced livers relative to our size.
