Symptoms Of Chocolate Toxicity In Dogs

October 11, 2025

When your dog decides to eat human food unpermitted, such as a bag of your M&Ms, it may cause more trouble than you'd think. Alarmingly, symptoms of chocolate toxicity don't show up until roughly six to twelve hours after consumption. If you know they snuck a toxic snack, but you aren't sure how much they ate, look out for any symptoms that may point to chocolate toxicity. The darker the chocolate is, the higher the levels of theobromine are in it, which is the harmful component of chocolate to dogs. If they ingested chocolate, a trip to the veterinarian may very well be underway. After all, you will want to get ahead of the issue before your dog suffers much bigger consequences.

With this in mind, get the details on the symptoms of chocolate toxicity in dogs now.
