Frequently asked questions
- How does the chocolate toxicity calculator estimate risk?
- You enter dog weight, chocolate type, and amount eaten. The tool estimates total theobromine and mg per kg of body weight, then maps that to a general risk band with next-step guidance.
- Why does dark chocolate look more dangerous than milk chocolate?
- Dark and baking chocolate contain much more theobromine per ounce than milk or white chocolate. A small amount of baker's chocolate can be serious for a small dog.
- My dog seems fine. Should I still call the vet?
- Yes, if the calculator shows mild or higher risk, or if you are unsure of the amount or type. Symptoms can be delayed. When in doubt, call your vet or poison control right away.
- Is this a substitute for emergency care?
- No. It is an estimate only and does not replace poison control or an emergency veterinarian. If your dog ate chocolate, especially cocoa powder or baking chocolate, seek professional help immediately.
