Call a vet. My old dog ate a LOT of chocolate in her time. She once ate about 30 pieces of chocolate intended for Valentines Day for my 5th or 6th grade classroom. That was when she was around 5 or 6 years old though. That was just one incident, but it didnt seem to affect her, and she lived till she was 13 years old. I would be more wary of the fact that your dog is a puppy.

Red face Thanks

BTW She is fine...It was about 1-2 ounces of milk chocolate...I called the vet this AM and they said if she's fine now then nothing to worry about...The danger would 've been not long after she ate it....
Dumb dog.....

Yeah -- the old dog and chocolate thing is often way overstated. NBD unless it ate an enormous amount...

That's good to know your pup is safe. My uncle's lab ate a bag of cough drops, and a loaf of bread on one occassion. Another time, a bar of soap, and half of an alarm clock when nobody was watching.

She'll pass it. You'll know when. Don't be surprised if you wake up to a stinky, sloppy mess in her crate or where ever you keep her. My dog ate half a tub of Desitin once which has a lot of zinc oxide in it. She didn't poop for 3 days.

My dog once ate a 1' square piece of floor tile-- or at least several nice bites.

Yeah, that stuff just goes through and out the other end, eventually.

Our boy schnauzer pulled an entire pizza off the table and downed it. Didn't poop for days, and kept my dad up with his whining a couple nights straight.

Glad to hear the pooch is OK!

Glad the dog is ok- Some dogs have allergies to chocolate, and some have adverse reactions to the caffeine. The heart-rate increase caused by caffeine impacts them in a more severe way than for humans, and because they tend to eat much more than a human dose at a time, they can get pretty messed up that way.
My dumbass dog ate a coffee filter a long time ago. It did not change shape or form the entire way through him, and came out clean as a whistle. That's some ruffage! (pun intended)

My sister's English mastiff ate a couple of common incandescent lightbulbs. Digested to disgest them just fine.

My mini-schnauzer/cocker mix did the same exact thing, pulled the entire pizza, box and all right off the dining room table and onto the floor. He only had like 5 minutes alone while i was talking to the neighbor. I was soo mad at him.

He also ate an entire loaf of bread, pulled it down off the kitchen counter. i think the bread made him hurt more than the pizza.

My dog's name is Hershey, and he has eaten lots of chocolate in his days. He's 12 now and though he is overweight he's still going strong.

I was living with friends my senior year of high school. They had a little hyper active dog/mutt named "Dogma". Hey-- we're Catholic.

Anyway, one night someone spilled a bunch of coffee beans on the floor. Turned out Dogma loved the taste of the beans and ate a good helping. Luckily she didn't die, but I still remember her running all over the house nonstop for several hours!

1 - 2 ounces wasn't enough to affect a large dog adversely, but try to keep it away from chocolate in the future. It really is poison to their systems.

Had a doxie once that ate the ends off a whole package of q-tips. Crapped cotton for about three days. Clean system, though.
