How much chocolate is toxic to a Lab?

By · Updated

Short answer

Using Merck’s figures, a 70 lb Lab reaches the 20 mg/kg level linked to mild signs after about 10 oz of milk chocolate, 4 oz of dark chocolate, 1.4 oz of baking chocolate or 0.8 oz of cocoa powder. Individual dogs vary, so call your vet or a pet poison line for any exposure.
