Question
How much chocolate must a 70lb dog ingest to reach toxic levels?  He is a 3yoa lab/huskie mix.

Answer
It depends on what kind of chocolate it is. You're probably safe with milk chocolate unless he  ate a bunch of it. It's dark chocolate that is the real problem. i'm sure by now he's either ok or not. Next time you need a quick answer you might want to give your vet a phone call.Oh and keep that baby away from the chocolate ;)
