My dog ate chocolate — what do I do?
AI Answer
Call your vet, an emergency clinic or a pet poison hotline now, even if your dog seems fine. Symptoms can take 6–12 hours to appear.
Have ready: your dog's weight, the type of chocolate (dark and baking chocolate are the most dangerous; milk is less; white has very little), how much was eaten, and when.
Do not make your dog vomit unless a vet tells you to.
Watch for: vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, fast breathing, shaking or seizures. Seizures are an emergency.
