🍫Dog Chocolate Toxicity Calculator
Chocolate toxicity in dogs is caused by theobromine, a methylxanthine compound that dogs metabolise far more slowly than humans. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain the highest concentrations and pose the greatest danger.
💡
Tip: If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line (UK: 01202 509000). Time is critical — treatment within 2 hours is most effective.
- 1Identify the type of chocolate and look up its theobromine content (mg per gram)
- 2Calculate total theobromine: grams eaten × theobromine content
- 3Divide by dog body weight in kg to get dose per kg
- 4Compare to toxicity thresholds: <20 mg/kg = minimal risk, >60 mg/kg = severe/emergency
20g milk chocolate, 5kg dog=~9.6 mg/kg — minimal riskWatch for upset stomach only
50g dark chocolate, 5kg dog=~160 mg/kg — EMERGENCYCall emergency vet immediately
100g milk chocolate, 20kg dog=~12 mg/kg — low riskMonitor for vomiting, diarrhoea
| Type | Theobromine (mg/g) | Risk per 10g for 10kg dog |
|---|---|---|
| White chocolate | 0.009 | < 0.01 mg/kg — negligible |
| Milk chocolate | 2.4 | 2.4 mg/kg — low |
| Dark chocolate (70%) | 16 | 16 mg/kg — moderate |
| Baking chocolate | 26 | 26 mg/kg — high |
| Cocoa powder | 28 | 28 mg/kg — high |
