Weight: normal;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;">Based on the estimated chocolate amount, body weight, and experience, this should cause stomach upset at most.

If this just happened, to minimize risk - If you would like to try some at home care - to make your dog vomit at home (LINK HERE)- you can use hydrogen peroxide.

The general dose is 5 mls/ 5 pounds- not to exceed 15mls (one teaspoon equals 5 cc or 5 ml).

You can give a second dose in 15 minutes if the first dose does not work.

If very concerned - you can consider going to the local ER. They likely have a medication (Apomorphine - LINK HERE) which causes vomiting in a much more reliable fashion - can then perform an examination - heart rate and blood pressure, and also administer activated charcoal to reduce side effects of ingestion and absorption.

Common therapies to consider for stomach upset if seen include:

1) A bland diet such as boiled chicken and rice (2/3 rice and 1/3 chicken).

2) With diarrhea, higher fiber diets such as Hill’s W/D or even adding a fiber source such as bran or canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) to the normal diet to increase the fiber content to help firm up the stool.

3) Famotidine (Pepcid A/C) - LINK HERE

I hope this is helpful!!!
