What do you do if your dog ate a small amount of dark chocolate?

Use common sense. Keep a close eye on the dog for a day or two and if you sense something wrong or have a gut reaction then take the dog to a vet. If you're unsure what to do altogether, take the dog to a vet. ***************************** My addition to this answer: From what I learned from my dog trainer, hydrogen peroxide can be used to induce vomitting when you know your dog has injested something harmful. Searching the internet for some backup, I came across this site: http://www.dr-dan.com/newpae16.htm. It also lists the Animal Poison Control number 1-800-548-2423. If it's off hours or a long way to the vet, calling the number and using the hydrogen peroxide may be a good, timely option.
