How much did the 3 dogs eat? If the chocolate that they ate is equal to 3 bite size pieces, you should visit the vet. Don't worry about it too much, your dogs will be fine.
Thanks,

Call the vet.
If your dog ate chocolate and your afraid it won't survive and you don't have money for the vet. Then you will have to make your dog vomit its easy, because it has happen to me I know. 1.) You have to go and buy Hydrogen Peroxide give you dog 3 teaspoons every 10 minutes 3 times. 2.) I know why does that sound expensive well it isn't you can buy them at CVS for very little money; a small bottle cost $1.00 a medium bottle cost $1.29 and a large bottle cost $1.90. See its cheap isn't it, and don't worry your thinking well how much am I suppose to give my big dog little dog. Its all the same 3 teaspoons very 10 minutes 3 times, and don't worry about overdosing your dog because you can't. Why? Because its harmless to your dog.
Take it to the vet, right away. There's no way you can guarantee precisely how much, and what type, your dog as ingested. Please, please, please follow the link to the Purdue VetSci Faculty, below, so you'll learn exactly how complex this question is.
The person before me said they FED their dog chocolate and they thought Dark Chocolate is the only type that is dangerous to dogs that couldn't be more incorrect. Never ever purposely feed your animal any type of chocolate it is poison to dogs.
If it was a very small amount the dog consumed it should be fine, my dog has accidentally gotten ahold of some before but I caught it in time to get it off her before she had to much. It would be best to get your dog to a vet or at least contact the vet as soon as possible.
Call your veterinarian immediately for advice - some large dogs can eat a very small quantity of Milk Chocolate and ride it out at home. However, a small dog, consumption of baker's chocolate or consumption of a lot (more than a single small snack-sized bar) will need immediate treatment by a veterinarian.
The results your dog will have depend on numerous things including your dogs age, size, breed, cross/purebred, overall health, other known and unknown underlying medical conditions, etc. The style, type, cocoa butter content, origin (domestic is totally different from imported) of the product all have influence. If you are confident you can assess all these factors, then, just sit and wait and see what happens. While you wait, your dog may suffer some or all the following; Pain, discomfort, fear, shivering, cramps,
-Blood in poop (note: it will most likely be diarrhea)
-Extreme vomiting (or blood in vomit)
-Extreme muscle weakness
-Symptoms lasting more than a week Results may include; permanent disabilities and death
Take your dog to a vet. And if your dog survives, or you get a 'new' one. Keep all chocolate safely away from your dog Please follow the link below to the Purdue Veterinary Medicine Faculty
