If your dog has eaten chocolate, you should take the following steps:
- Call your veterinarian immediately. Chocolate can be poisonous to dogs, and the severity of the poisoning depends on the amount and type of chocolate consumed, as well as the size and breed of the dog.
- Induce vomiting if directed by your veterinarian. This can be done by giving your dog a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your veterinarian has not instructed you to do so.
- Give your dog activated charcoal. This can help absorb the chocolate from the stomach. You can give your dog 1 gram of activated charcoal per pound of body weight.
- Keep your dog hydrated. Give your dog plenty of water to drink.
- Monitor your dog for symptoms of chocolate poisoning. These symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, seizures, and heart problems.
- Take your dog to the veterinarian for further treatment. Even if your dog is not showing any symptoms, it is important to take them to the veterinarian for evaluation. Chocolate poisoning can be fatal if not treated promptly.
