The minimum toxic level of theobromine is 100-200mg/kg with 250-500mg/kg being the level at which half of the dogs would die as a result of consuming chocolate. So what does that mean as far as how much chocolate is toxic? The level of theobromine varies depending on the type of chocolate. The levels of theobromine are listed below:

Milk chocolate 60 mg/oz

Baking chocolate 450 mg/oz

Semi-sweet chocolate 260 mg/oz

Hot chocolate 12 mg/oz

White chocolate 1 mg/oz
