How to Use the Dog Chocolate Calculator
- Enter your dog's weight in kilograms (kg). Use a decimal if needed (e.g., 10.5).
- Select the chocolate type from the dropdown: Milk, Dark, Baking, or White chocolate.
- Enter the amount eaten in grams (g). For example, 50 g of chocolate.
- Click "Calculate Risk" to see the result.
What the result means:
- Low Risk (green): Theobromine dose is under 10 mg/kg — generally safe.
- Moderate Risk (yellow): Dose between 10 and 20 mg/kg — monitor your dog.
- High Risk (red): Dose above 20 mg/kg — seek veterinary help immediately.
Note: Use metric units only (kg for weight, grams for chocolate). The calculator estimates theobromine toxicity based on chocolate type and your dog's weight.
