Chocolate contains theobromine, which is potentially toxic to dogs when given a substantial amount. This amount varies depending on the size of the dog.

Thanks for the question Willy Wonka- as mentioned in the article, chocolate is toxic to dogs! While we are sure many people enjoy your products, they are at this time only safe for humans. We look forward to the day the Umpa Lumpas develop a candy that is dog friendly too!

Overall good info although I have two comments. Case #1 bakers chocolate - best to call the vet to check if inducing vomiting is the best action (there are some ingestions where inducing vomiting can cause more harm) and to get correct dose and frequency of peroxide use (unless your pet is a repeat offender and you feel comfortable with the
procedure!)
Case #4 Over the counter anti-inflammatories. No Tylenol. Although probably okay for short term use in dogs, people tend to treat their cats like small dogs and Tylenol is fatal to cats.

I feel that I answered the questions correctly. The first one I got wrong. I would just take the dog to the vet, not make it throw up.

I didn't know ointments in a wound would not be the best treatment. The hydrogen peroxide is good for other swallowed things too
