How to sketch chocolate exposure
- Call a veterinarian or pet poison hotline first if exposure just happened.

- Select the chocolate type that best matches what was eaten.
- Enter ounces, or grams if that is what you know.
- Read mg/kg and the risk sketch, then follow professional advice. Nothing is uploaded.

What this toxicity sketch is for
Emergency: If a dog ate chocolate, contact a veterinarian or pet poison hotline now. This page only multiplies published-style theobromine densities by amount and divides by body weight. Brands vary. It cannot clear a dog as safe.
How mg/kg is computed
theobromine mg = (mg per oz for the type) × ounces. If you enter grams, ounces = grams / 28.3495. Dose = theobromine mg / dog kg. Risk text uses rough bands starting near 20 mg/kg for mild sketches and 100 mg/kg for very high sketches.
Exposure math and other dog tools
Entities include chocolate type, theobromine density, and mg/kg dose. Daily energy sketches sit on dog calorie. Fluid sketches sit on dog water intake.
Use cases
Organizing what you will tell a hotline (weight, type, amount). Teaching why baking chocolate is denser than milk chocolate. Never a reason to delay calling a vet.
Default numbers
At 10 kg dog, 1 oz milk chocolate (~44 mg/oz): dose ≈ 4.4 mg/kg, below the mild-symptom sketch band on this page. The same ounce of baking chocolate (~450 mg/oz) is about 45 mg/kg.
