    My memory is that our dog ate (stolen) chocolate many times with
    no seeming ill effect. Of course she ate wallpaper paste and soap
    as well. Maybe dogs were just sturdier back then..

    We never had a dog, so I can go only by ads I remember, but I believe
    there was such a thing as chocolate candy for dogs—of course, Lord knows
    what was actually in it.

    More likely it's about the size of the dog, the type of chocolate, and the amount.

    My current dog has stolen a lot of chocolate from my teenagers. She has never gotten sick. I am sure it affects some dogs, but mine has a cast iron stomach. Once it was one of those chocolate oranges - ate the whole thing and left the wrapper behind.
    Just this week, she ate a large, unopened chocolate bar that my daughter forgot to put away. Again, left the wrapper behind and not a sign of distress.
