For example, one chocolate kiss won't cause a problem but if they eat 1 ounce of chocolate per pound of body weight, rush them to a vet. Also, once they’ve had a taste of chocolate, they will seek it out.
As will humans. Darn that chocolate!

Sorry, this is a serious subject, but that sentence jumped out at me.

I'm glad you clarified about the dark chocolate vs milk chocolate issue. Many don't know this and get so scared if an M&M drops on the floor. I'm not saying to let the dog eat it, but I think so many have unnecessary anxiety attacks over such things.
