What if my poodle ate chocolate?
If your Poodle ever eats any chocolate by accident, bring her to the nearest veterinarian or animal hospital. The veterinarian will induce vomiting if it has been less than 2 hours since the chocolate was ingested. If more than 2 hours has passed, the theobromine would then be in the dog's blood system.
How much chocolate kills a poodle?
So 20 ounces of milk chocolate, 10 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, and just 2.25 ounces of baking chocolate could potentially kill a 22-pound dog, Fitzgerald says. Serious toxic reactions can occur with ingestion of about 100 to 150 milligrams of theobromine per kilogram of body weight.
How can I treat my dog at home after eating chocolate?
Vetted Pet Care suggests taking only three percent solution of Hydrogen Peroxide (not the concentrated six percent solution) and putting 1ml for every pound of body weight (so 16 ml for 16 pounds), into food or in a dropper to feed her to induce vomiting.
Can a dog survive if it eats chocolate?
Yes, chocolate is toxic to dogs. While rarely fatal, chocolate ingestion can result in significant illness. Chocolate is toxic because it contains a chemical called theobromine, as well as caffeine.
