Reply to comment by Nuvenor in How does extracting venom from animals help us create antidotes? by asafen

Debunking a common myth, it takes an awful lot of chocolate to kill a dog. My retrievers on several occasions crushed multiple king size Hershey bars, with no ill effect, other than a really messy yard for a couple days. Their bodies are as good as ours at expelling disagreeable materials.

Not necessarily: it depends upon the breed. A relatively small chunk of dark chocolate (a square of a hersheys bar) will cause siezures in small breeds, and I can unfortunately testify to first hand experience to this. Chiuauas are particularly vulnerable.
