My dog ​​ate chocolate ice cream, is it serious?

Hello,

What is toxic in chocolate is the theobromine, a molecule found in dark chocolate and in milk chocolate. The toxicity threshold depends on your dog's weight: dark chocolate is toxic if your dog ingests more than 2 grams of chocolate per pound of his body weight. Milk chocolate is poisonous if your dog ingests more than 10g per kilogram of his body weight. Symptoms of poisoning appear 2 to 4 hours after ingesting chocolate. These include vomiting, diarrhoea, panting, increased heart rate, then, if the intoxication is severe, convulsions and heart rhythm disturbances. If you have any doubts about the possible poisoning of your dog, call your vet. Regards,

It is especially the "real" chocolate which is toxic, the dark one with a lot cocoa. In this ice cream it must be chocolate "aroma" so I don't think it's very serious. But maybe call your vet just to be sure

I know that chocolate is very toxic for dogs but maybe it is different with chocolate ice cream because the concentration is not the same but anyway, stay vigilant, especially if your dog starts to vomit and/or has diarrhoea, do not hesitate to consult!
