Chocolate contains Theobromine and Caffeine both which are dangerous to dogs. The severity of the chocolate poisoning will depend on the type of chocolate eaten, the amount eaten and the size/weight of the dog.
Symptoms of chocolate toxicity in dogs can start anywhere from 4 - 24 hours after ingestion and last for upwards of 72 hours. Signs that your dog may be suffering from chocolate toxicity include; restlessness, excitement, vomiting, diarrhoea, trembling, elevated heart rate, seizures and possible death.
