They are still at risk.

If i were you, I wouldn't put my dog through the risk of getting poisoned. I wouldn't give them any chocolate. Thank god my dog only eats every kind of meat.

It wouldnt matter, if they try chocolate they crave it. They are not at any risk so long as they dont eat a toxic amount.

You should look up a chart or something, it tells you what amounts are toxic for your dogs weight.

I didn't give her the chocolate, she took it from the table.

Yes it would matter. A toxic amount is any amount, they shouldn't be eating chocolate. They should be eating dog food.

They should be, but you can't stop your dog from taking something while your not looking. People who give their dogs chocolate on purpose, or as a treat, are complete idiots.

I honestly don't care what you guys do for your dogs, that's what I do for my dog because that's what my vet said to do. And yes I knew induce means force. How else would you expect to get the dog to vomit, ask him? Anyway, that was my opinion on the matter!

I have looked at a chart. Maybe you should go talk to your vet, he'll tell you to keep chocolate away from your dog and never feed it to them.

I KNOW THAT! I said that your not supposed to induce vomiting, just like if a person swallows bleach, it makes it worse!

You must think I'm a complete idiot.

Have i not been saying that it's addicting to a dog!?Anyway the dog will vomit on it's own.

Another site with doses and info, nothing I have not already told you:http://www.dogownersdigest.com/news/library/chocolate-dog-poisoning.shtml

You and Chasity are so wrong.

No I don't think you're an idiot. I would have told you if I thought you were. It's not the same as bleach. Chocolate is different, for dogs. The way I make my dog vomit when she has to is that I put a tablespoon of salt in her mouth. It works quickly and officiently. My dog would have died if I hadn't done that, she ate an ant trap. No more of those are in my house.

OMG!! Was she ok?

Hello!! I'm the one here listing off sites using Chemistry that you dont even understand!! And all you'r saying is my vet said it didnt matter how much they weight or how old they are they'll just die if they eat chocolate.

Go look it up and you'll find the same thing.

Well bleach is poison to us, and chocolate is poison to dogs, so it's kind of the same.

If your dog eats a toxic amount, your supposed to call the 'emergency vet' for them right away, and not induce vomiting. Maybe our vets are telling us different things, I wonder which is right.

Aluewolf --> If we were wrong, my dog would of died, or at least gotten sick from eating that chocolate, but she didn't, she was perfectly fine.
