🚑 Emergency handling

Identify the chocolate type and estimated amount; keep the packaging. Inducing vomiting within 2 hours (at the vet) works best — don't wait for symptoms. Never induce vomiting yourself, especially if tremors have started.

• Estimates use public toxicology references (theobromine: mild ≥20, severe ≥40, seizures ≥60 mg/kg); individual variation exists.
• White chocolate has negligible theobromine, but its fat can still trigger pancreatitis.
• With multiple foods or an unknown type, we calculate by the most dangerous one.

FAQ

My dog ate grapes — do I need to calculate a dose?

No. Grapes/raisins have no established safe dose — some dogs are poisoned by a single grape. Select “Grapes” and the tool gives an emergency recommendation directly.

What if my cat ate chocolate?

Cats are more sensitive to theobromine than dogs but rarely volunteer to eat it. The tool weights for feline sensitivity and rounds any positive result one level up.
