We came home one evening and discovered our 10lb wiener-pinscher had eaten a whole dish of Dove dark Chocolates while we were away. Easily a couple of dozen pieces... All that was left were little bits of foil wrappers all over the floor where he attempted to peel each one open. I'da really liked to have seen how he was doing that. We just knew he was fixin' to die. Aside from looking guilty as hell, he showed zero signs of any ill effects. There's no telling how much of the foil wrappers he ate either...
Chocolate is less of a poison to dogs than grapes are. Must be some kind of sliding scale.
Xylitol (in things like Trident and low sugar peanut butter) is probably the most dangerous ingredient in your house for dogs, followed by grapes and raisins. Not sure why chocolate gets all the attention.
A westie mix I had once ate 9 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I called the vet, and they told me to give her 10cc of peroxide every 15 minutes until she vomited.
After doing so for 90 minutes, I called them again, and they told me to stop, and that she'd probably be fine, which she was.
