Chocolate Toxicity Calculator
Calculate chocolate poisoning risk based on theobromine content
Frequently Asked Questions
How much chocolate is toxic for my dog?
The toxic dose depends on the chocolate type. Our calculator considers the combined dose of both toxic methylxanthines (theobromine + caffeine) from a database of 98 products in 15 categories. From 20 mg/kg methylxanthine, first symptoms may appear; above 60 mg/kg it becomes life-threatening.
What are the symptoms of chocolate poisoning in dogs?
First symptoms appear 2-4 hours after ingestion: vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, and increased heart rate. Severe cases include muscle tremors, seizures, and cardiac arrhythmia. Contact your vet immediately!
What should I do if my dog ate chocolate?
Note the amount and type, then call your vet immediately. Within the first 2 hours, the vet can induce vomiting. Activated charcoal can reduce theobromine absorption. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
