Just Kate Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Dd sat a chocolate chip muffin in the table and before we knew it, our dog Teddy had it in her mouth. I got a small part out, but she ate most of it. Teddy is five years old, about 55 lbs, and in good health. What should I do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Regular chocolate chips? She should be perfectly fine. If it was baker's chocolate I'd be a little concerned. But chocolate chips . . . . nah. Wouldn't even ping my radar as something to worry about. ETA: I'm also assuming regular sized, homemade muffin. Not one of the gargantuan bakery ones that are the size of a small cake. Edited March 4, 2020 by Pawz4me 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Kate Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Sorry for the post up above. This website doesn’t like me tonight. Lol Thank you for easing my fears! I have had a crappy couple of days and I think my brain is set to expect the worst right now. Teddy still seems fine, so I will monitor her a bit tonight but otherwise assume all is well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 No problem at all. I promise. The amount of chocolate needed to cause problems is really pretty high. We only saw sick dogs from it usually after valentine's day when tiny dogs ate giant boxes of chocolate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog is in bed with ds and I’m no longer stressing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it makes you feel better, one of mine (not sure which) ate 1/3 of a Lindt Sea Salt Soiree chocolate bar. (they are big dogs, over 65 pounds each). And I'm not worried. Just annoyed they ate the last of my chocolate! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dog sure seemed to enjoy her before bed snack. Edited March 4, 2020 by Just Kate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm pretty sure my dear grandma gave her Shih Tzu a little piece of chocolate every evening while they watched tv. Not the smartest idea ever, but Max had no ill effects. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Growing up our Bouvier ate Easter. He never showed any I'll effects of course he was a huge dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberia Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 My dog ate 11 full-size Twix bars. My dog didn't die, and we kept finding shiny silver Twix wrappers in the yard, like little flags marking his droppings, for two weeks after that. All the best to you and your pooch! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It takes more chocolate than you think to kill a dog. However, should anything like this happen again you'll probably get quicker and more accurate results if you call your vet than ask Dr. Hive 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Our (85 lb) black lab ate an oversized (and fancy) chocolate bar that a good friend had left for us on our guest bed when we were visiting. The bedspread and sheets were pure white—he didn’t leave a *trace*. Lol. More importantly he was totally fine, but I remember being so worried about her expensive sheets! Lol I'm glad to hear your pup is fine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Our friend’s Dalmatian ate most of the candy and chocolate in our daughter’s Easter basket. It had no affect on her at all. That dog had a stomach of steel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
