He was 110 pounds, so yes, chocolate is very dangerous and I would not even ever take the chance of feeding any kind of chocolate to my dog. Here's a good tip that I learned: If your dog ingests anything you don't think they should, such as large amounts of chocolate, give the dog about 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of salt per 10 pounds of bodyweight. If it's a chemical, always call poison control first because some chemicals can severely burn the esophagus on the way back up. This is a safe way and won't cause stomach ulcers like other methods will, and it's quick and simple. It works within 5-10 minutes at the most, some dogs vomit immediatly. I've used it quite a few times. One time my corgi ate a whole carton of chocolate chip cookies and once he ate a whole bag of bubble gum. It was one of those jumbo bags from Sam's with 100 pieces in it. I was really looking foward to that bubble gum, too.

wow,, are you positive it was the chocolate that did it?? My vet was telling me it takes alot of chocolate to hurt a dog (Depending on the animals weight that is),,,,
I am sorry for your loss...... HUGS!!
