The veterinary science they need, with the love they deserve.

Chocolate contains theobromine, a methylxanthine that canines metabolize far more slowly than humans. Enter your dog’s weight in pounds (lbs) and chocolate amount in ounces (oz) for an immediate clinical toxicity calculation.

Estimates based on general canine welfare and veterinary behavior guidelines. Every dog is unique; these benchmarks do not substitute a customized assessment from a licensed veterinarian or certified animal behaviorist.
