What you do if your Yorkshire Terrier eats chocolate will depend on what type was ingested and how much your dog actually ate. This is because some varieties have much more theobromine than others.
We will look at some of the most common sources that are often found in the homes (and pocketbooks or even gym bags) of many people - even those who try to stay away from sweet snacks. Here you will see these
foods in order of toxicity levels according to how much theobromine is present:
High Levels/ Very Dangerous
Coco powder, 1 cup = 1769 mg
Baking chocolate, unsweetened, squares, 1 cup = 1712 mg
Liquid un-sweetened baking chocolate, 1 cup - 677 mg
Moderate Levels / Dangerous
Peanut M&Ms, 1 cup = 184 mg
Chocolate ice cream, 1 cup = 175 mg
Chocolate pudding, 4 oz. = 76 mg
Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar, 1 full bar = 64 mg
Hershey's Semi-Sweet Baking Bar, 1 tablespoon = 55 mg
Kit Kat bar, 1 full bar = 48.7 mg
Brownie, a 2 inch square = 44 mg
Lower Levels / Slightly Dangerous
Milky Way Bar, 1 regular sized bar = 37.1 mg
Snickers Bar = 35 mg
Hershey's Kisses, 4 pieces = 33 mg
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, 2 full regular sized = 32.4 mg
Chocolate chip cooked, 1 cookie = 20.3 mg
Chocolate doughnut = 12.6 mg
Not Poisonous
White chocolate - real white chocolate does not have caffeine or theobromine; though a dog will often a get a 'sugar high' from this sort of candy and should not be eating it.
