It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog. * Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog. Semi-sweet chocolate has a similar toxic level. * Sweet cocoa: 0.3 ounces per pound of body weight. One-third of a pound of sweet cocoa is toxic to a 20-pound dog; 1/6 pound for a 10-pound dog. * Baking chocolate: 0.1 ounce per pound body weight. Two one-ounce squares of bakers' chocolate is toxic to a 20-pound dog; one ounce for a 10-pound dog." What I get from this is that it is ok for a dog to have some chocolate, but, just like humans, everything should be eaten in moderation. An m&m or two is not going to kill any dog, and I don't read anything in this article that states that you *should* feed your dog chocolate, just that her dog happens to pick up a couple of her m&ms. also, I'd like to point out that this article isn't even about her dog, it's about her art... which by the way is phenomenal. dog owner’s digest:

Great that Hannah Mendelsohn's dog is ok, but many many dogs die from consuming chocolate left out. It is NEVER ok to allow a dog to eat chocolate. please supply a supplement to this story by saying that the american veterinary association says that chocolate DOES KILL DOGS because they cannot metabolize it.
