It's really not the intestinal tract that is hurt as much as the nervous system. If your dog eats any dark chocolate, I would take him to the vet immediately. Milk chocolate doesn't contain as much theobromine. Sometimes you don't see the effects until three days afterwards, so just because the dog survives the night, it doesn't mean he/she is out of danger.
