re: How bad are Reese's peanutbuttercups for dogs?

Chocolate isn't good for dogs, but it all depends on how much they consume. Peanut butter usually isn't a concern, in fact I use peanut butter to give my dog meds. With that said, if its white chocolate I don't think its nearly as bad, but just keep an eye on him. If he starts throwing up and acting off then call the vet.. Or google might have some info.

Try this calculator. Depending on the dog's size and the size of the candies (regular or minis) you are looking at very mild to mild I think.

Our 35 pound mutt some how found a bag of Hershey chocolate chips and ate almost the entire bag. I went to Walmart and bought charcoal pills, ground them up and mixed it with water and used a medicine dropper to make him swallow the mixture. He threw up and shite chocolate all day. Perfectly back to normal the next day.

Never tried them.

I've made him throw up by pouring peroxide in his throat.

Damn. The dog woulda been fine. They have to eat a LOT of milk chocolate to frick em up.

I once did the calculations on the minimum toxic does of theobromine and dogs. Even with high quality milk chocolate a conservative minimum would be 1oz per pound. Given the chocolate to peanut butter in the Reese's cups even a 15lb terrier would need a lot of cups maybe in the two pound range.

He will be fine.

Don’t do the freak out panic thing.

Most likely, the dog will probably puke and shite a little more times than normal

My GSP pup ate about 20 mini Rece’s cups yesterday from my kids stocking.

As a precaution I gave her a teaspoon of salt. In a matter of 3 minutes she had puked 4 times and that emptied the stomach. . We were back to playing in 15 mins.

Depends on the dog. My dog has eaten plenty of chocolate she wasn’t supposed to and been perfectly fine…that bitch.

I have hounds, seems they can (and will) eat anything and survive.
