IF your dog gets into chocolate or other poison the very FIRST thing to do is to force-feed him a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide - then prepare the stand back and clean up. The HP will go into his stomach and expand causing him to throw up. If you catch him soon enough, most of the chocolate will be expelled. You still need to go to the vet, but if you catch it soon enough, the follow-up treatment shouldn't be so bad. But, you should still take him to the vet. Chocolate can cause liver failure pretty quickly in dogs, dark chocolate is much worse than milk.
