My 3 ate a box and seemed fine, found out to late to do anything about it, was I lucky?? they never ever get it normally just the postie left a box inside the back gate. Curious in case it ever happens again. Hope your dogs are fine! I would bet money it was milk chocolate.

I force fed the dogs salt water which was not effective. Came and looked on here and saw the peroxide remedy - did that and both dogs have been sick. Rang the vet but there's no answer on the emergency phone number - rang the only other vet in the area and he won't see new dogs on new years. Is there anything else I can do? Milk chocolates? How long before inducing vomiting?

I'm making sure that the dogs are drinking, they're eating - seems fine. It was about half a box of milk chocolate but mainly choc. covered candies - so very little chocolate. Dogs are a largeish GSD and a huge greyhound. Managed to get hold of the vet this morning, who said that they were out on a farm last night....that's why the phone didn't get answered. She says that I can bring them in if I want but that she thinks they will be ok.

BTW, just to indicate how much dogs are drawn to chocolate and how careful we have to be with it (for example, keeping cooking chocolate in an upper cabinet): Last night we ate lots of chocolate candy and put the little empty fluted paper cups in a wastebasket. In the middle of the night I woke up to find my dogs, who NEVER get up during the night and NEVER dumpster-dive, gathered 'round the tipped-over wastebasket and sniffing, licking, and generally adoring the fluted cups all over the floor. LOL

Last night I was home alone on vday, so I watched chick flicks and at two pieces of chocolate out of a smal vday choclate box. Put it next to my bed tucked in the corner, lid closed. Woke up this morning and they were gone. Just wrappers. Like a little elf snuck in and ate them. I couldn't believe it. We've left food before and he's never touched it. I still can't believe it. I honestly didn't even know he was that smart, or ninja like. Seems fine today though. Probably got about 4 pieces. Most were chocolate covered candies not all choclate and no dark.

Betty Landercasp Webboard User Reg: 11-30-2009 Posts: 3724 Loc: minnesota Offline	Once on the way to work I picked up a dozen Dunkin donuts, set them in the passenger seat. English setter in the back seat, a big gentle lump of a dog. Left my keys on the counter at the register in the store, had to run back in and get the keys. Gone just a minute, ran in and out. When I got to work, picked up the box-no donuts, not a one, no crumbs, just an empty box. The dog didn't seem to have moved a muscle, but the donuts were gone. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

LOL It kills me when the dog is siting exactly where he was, not chewing, not swallowing, all exactly as it was -- except the big plate of food is gone. I swear this is true: My granddog Milo (in the picture with me in the "sort of fun" thread) was with us around the coffee table at my house when we were all eating submarine sandwiches, sitting on the floor. He looked up at the window and alert-barked until we all looked over there, and when we looked back he was chewing really fast. And innocently. He has also alert-barked in his own house at the sliding glass doors until his sister jumped up and joined him in a bark-fest, then ran and took her chair.
