I have recently seen a 30 LB dog die from eating 8 oz of milk chocolate. It turns out that it depends on the type of chocolate - the chemical that really does a number on them is Theobromine, and Milk Chocolate has less than most other chocolate products. Courtesy of the Hershey Co. website, the ratio is 74 mg per 1.55 oz in milk chocolate (assuming that this milk chocolate wasn't homemade). Incidentally, my own Weimaraner ate one of those huge bars, and after the calling the vet, their response was, "Was she smiling?" My Weimaraner would fall under the same weight category, but is also larger than some other breeds (for a visual think Greyhound or Great Dane), so the end result was a lot of hyperactivity. However, if the dog is a smaller dog, say 40 lbs but the stature of one of my former dogs, the German Shepherd/Chow mix, it'd be better to err on the side of safety and check to see if there's any abnormalities with the Central Nervous System, heart, and/or kidneys.

What happens when a dog eats a milk dug?
Well, chocolate is considered poisonous to dogs, so they really shouldn't be eating milk duds. However, if you're dog has just one it probably will be ok, but if he were to have more than one, he could get really sick. Also, size is a factor. A big dog eating a milk dud is less of an issue than a smaller dog eating it.

What happens if a dog eats 3 pieces of chocolate?
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, so this could be dangerous for the dog. It would depend on what type of chocolate the dog ate. Dark chocolate or chocolate with lots of cocoa in it is the most dangerous, with milk chocolate being less dangerous and white chocolate being the least dangerous. The size of the dog would also affect how dangerous it is, so if a big dog ate 3 pieces of chocolate it might be ok, while it could be very dangerous if a small dog ate 3 pieces of chocolate. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your dog for 24 hours after he/she ate chocolate and if the dog shows signs of nausea, being wobbly or drinking a lot of water then the dog should be taken to the vet immediately.

A human's liver is far better at dealing with certain kinds of chemicals than a dog's or cat's is. A lot of foods that are perfectly fine for humans are poisonous to dogs and/or cats.Chocolate contains several chemicals called xanthenes (caffeine is one type of xanthene) that are toxic to dogs. What happens depends on how big the dog is, how much chocolate they eat, and whether it's dark or milk chocolate (dark chocolate has more xanthenes than milk chocolate). If a large dog eats a small piece of milk chocolate it probably won't do much harm, but you shouldn't intentionally feed it to them.
