If higher levels of chocolate are consumed, or if the chocolate was very dark, it may cause an increase in previously discussed symptoms. It may also, unfortunately, lead to more intense ones such as an abnormal heart rate. You may notice your dog pacing or becoming increasingly frantic. Take note of any rapid heart rate you may be able to detect when checking. This abnormal heartrate, otherwise known as cardiac arrhythmia, could lead to more significant issues for your dog, like cardiac arrest. Even before this symptom ever comes into play, you may be able to induce vomiting at home under the guidance of your veterinarian or the pet poison control hotline.
