Our 3,5 month old lab puppy managed to steal a whole chocolate bar (180g milk chocolate) while we moved christmas packages around and ate it whole.
We force-fed a handful of salt to him immediately after noticing what had happened and he vomited almost all of it out. I called a vet and got instructions to give medicinal coal and monitor closely if any symptoms appear.
It’s been several hours now and he’s pretty much back to normal, a bit beaten up due to vomiting and upset stomach, but at least so far seems like nothing permanent happened. He’s got a vet scheduled anyways in few days for other stuff so he’ll get checked up at the same time.
August of '24 one of our cats knocked a chocolate pastry off the counter. My daughter’s dog ate it unbeknownst to anyone at the time. My wife and I went out for the day, or son realized she had eaten it. The dog was vomiting blood. I had to rush her to an emergency vet (2 hours drive). She spent 3 days there. She is doing well now and we keep all chocolate in the fridge or locked in the cupboard.
