Deep Dive
Dark and baking chocolate are usually riskier than milk chocolate. Small dogs can be affected by much less.
Why risk can vary a lot
Baking chocolate and dark chocolate usually carry the highest risk.
Even a small amount can matter for small dogs. Keep packaging so you can share details when you call.
Cats and this calculator
This calculator is built for dogs. If a cat ate chocolate, call your vet or poison hotline directly.
