4. Does the Type of Chocolate Make a Difference?
Different types of chocolate contain different levels of theobromine, so in an emergency, it is important to know what type of chocolate was ingested. On the lowest end of the scale is white chocolate, which does not contain cocoa solids. This means there is only trace amounts of theobromine. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate have very high amounts of theobromine, although the highest concentration is found in cocoa powder. Less than 0.2 ounces of cocoa powder can be dangerous for a 10-pound dog.
