MP_the4pack Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 First, take a deep breath. Ok, how many cookies? White chocolate doesn't have much if any of the chemical that is dangerous to dogs. Dark chocolate is the real dangerous type. If you really don't want what's in his tummy to stay there, use hydrogen perioxide (I don't like using salt, the body does absorb the sodium). couple of tablespoons. Outside! Some dogs vomit right away, other's let you get really really worried first before it comes up. But I'd call your vet first. I don't think it's necessary, but I'm not a vet. Also.....how's he reacting? Is he sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IndyHound Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey ate half a bag that he managed to grab off of the counter. Maybe a 1/4 a lb at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BiancasMom Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 White chocolate contains minimal Theobromine (what makes chocolate toxic). As long as there was no real chocolate or raisins, he should be fine but may have diarrhea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's not a lot considering it's in cookies. I'm thinking he'll be fine.

DaisyDoodle Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm not sure white chocolate is even "chocolate" at all. I'm pretty sure it's candy with vanilla flavoring in it. I, personally, wouldn't worry. The important question--were there macadamia nuts in the cookies? Those can be toxic to dogs and are often found in white chocolate chip cookies.

Hubcitypam Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 White chocolate is not really chocolate. I wouldn't induce vomiting over white chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IndyHound Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 there were some nuts in it. A friend made them for me so im not sure what kind they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 white chocolate is cocoa butter, sugar, maybe some other oils & flavors, but it isn't really chocolate, so that part isn't a worry, but the nuts may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I expect that inducing vomiting is riskier than eating some cookies with white chocolate chips!

EnzaFerrari Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Chocolate Toxic Chart According to this, the dog would have needed to eat around 300 bars of white chocolate to move beyond an upset tummy brought upon by the chocolate. (Upset tummy brought about by eating 300 bars of white chocolate is a whole other story....) Edited July 20, 2011 by EnzaFerrari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IndyHound Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ok So I called the vet and he stated that at most it would cause an upset stomach and maybe some diarrhea. Sorry for the freakout but as hes my first i didn't know how it would affect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotaina Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Any idea what kind of nuts were in it? Macadamia nuts are dangerous, though it would appear that, like raisins/grapes, some dogs can get sick on a little bit, others need a lot to get sick. Anyway, here's some info from the Merck Veterinary Manual: Macadamia ingestion Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).
