It completely depends on the kind of chocolate they get into. The worst they can get is dark chocolate and unsweetened baking chocolate. They can eat a shitload of milk chocolate without getting sick. My old mutt Bear *loved* chocolate and I had to make sure to hide all the chocolate in the house. I remember once she got into an easter basket and ate one of those ‘giant’ chocolate rabbits that was about a foot long, she ate the whole thing. No ill effects to speak of other than really raunchy gas.

Oh and my pug really loved to eat carrots and green beans. She'd fucking go crazy for green beans.
