If the dog has eaten a small amount of chocolate, the dog can still resist it and does not need to bother the veterinarians. If the dog has eaten a lot of chocolate in a hurry, the only way to prevent it from entering the bloodstream through the digestive system is to force it to eat activated charcoal to remove the methylxanthines from the chocolate. If your dog has eaten a small amount of chocolate, you can give him an electrolyte-balancing salt solution, which is usually available at pharmacies. This solution prevents dehydration and promotes the rapid elimination of toxic substances from the dog’s body. You can also mix a small spoonful of hydrogen peroxide in the water and let the dog take it, which can help induce vomiting. If the vomiting fails, give the hydrogen peroxide again in the same way a quarter of an hour later. Half an hour later the dog has not vomited, do not feed again and promptly seek medical attention to avoid harm to the dog’s body.
