Formula:
The calculation for dog chocolate toxicity primarily focuses on the ingestion of theobromine and caffeine. The estimated toxic dose of theobromine for dogs is approximately 9 mg per pound of body weight (20 mg/kg) for mild symptoms, and 18 mg per pound of body weight (40 mg/kg) for severe symptoms.
Our tool estimates the total ingested theobromine based on chocolate type and amount, then compares this to your dog's weight to assess the potential risk level.
