Should I be worried?? My fiance spilled some cereal this morning and he missed a small piece. Of course Tucker found it seconds later. Normally I wouldn't worry at all because it was so small, but the cereal is "Cookie Crisp" and it has little dots of chocolate in it. I got on my hands and knees to make sure there were no more, so he only got one small "cookie." I would imagine the chocolate content is very, very small, but I wanted to get your guys' opinions. And from now on, the fiance eats at the kitchen table only! |
I'm thinking that he will be fine. I'm sure the same type of thing has happened here before and all the dogs have been fine. |
since it was just 1 piece of it, i don't think you have anything to worry about:) |
It sounds like it was a very small amount.:thumbup: Our furbabies will find anything to put in their eager mouths:rolleyes: even with constant cleaning. :) :yorkiesar |
I wouldn't be worried at all about it... |
I wouldn't think there would be anything to worry about. Yes eat at the table young man;) |
I bet it is not even real chocolate!!! |

I wouldn't worry :) Mine have gotten one or two pieces of cocoa pebbles when they fell out of my bowl and they never even had an upset tummy :) |
I wouldnt worry if it was one piece. |
I'm sure he'll be fine. Just keep an eye on him just in case, but I doubt it will hurt him one bit |
I would say your just fine. That little piece shouldn't hurt him. Ours get into things their not suppose to every now and then, and their ok. |
He'll be fine. He didn't eat enough to make him sick. Toxic Levels The good news is that it takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction. Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration. On average, Milk chocolate contains 44 mg of theobromine per oz. Semisweet chocolate contains 150mg/oz. Baker's chocolate 390mg/oz. Using a dose of 100 mg/kg as the toxic dose it comes out roughly as: 1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate 1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate 1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate. So, for example, 2 oz. of Baker's chocolate can cause great risk to an 15 lb. dog. Yet, 2 oz. of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems. http://www.talktothevet.com/ARTICLES...olatetoxic.HTM |
