Chocolate Toxicity Calculator

Estimate a dog's exposure to chocolate methylxanthines (theobromine and caffeine). If your dog ate chocolate, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison-control service promptly—even if this estimate looks low.

Emergency guidance: If your dog has tremors, seizures, collapse, severe agitation, or an abnormal heartbeat, seek emergency veterinary care now. Do not induce vomiting or administer home treatments unless directed by a veterinarian or animal poison-control professional.

Educational screening estimate based on published methylxanthine concentrations and clinical-effect ranges in the Merck Veterinary Manual. Concentrations vary by product; this is not Merck's calculator, a diagnosis, or a substitute for professional advice. Products containing xylitol, raisins, macadamia nuts, or other ingredients may carry additional risks.
