Expert Answer

A Bichon eating chocolate may show poisoning, but if the chocolate is low purity it may show no abnormal symptoms. Chocolate contains large amounts of theobromine and some caffeine that dogs cannot metabolize; after ingestion they usually show increased drinking, diarrhea, vomiting, drooling, agitation, and seizures, and in severe cases direct coma or death. Therefore the owner should watch the dog’s condition closely and take it to a vet if abnormalities appear..
