My dog ate a box of smarties. :(
 

Dog ate a box of smarties, should i be worried? He seems fine, I guess he ate it between 4-8 hours ago while I was out. Always heard chocolate is like toxic to dogs.

he will be fine

it can cause problems but it probably would have by now:)

Wait another cpl hours and ull get ur smarties back ;)

Smarties are milk chocolate. A dog his size should be okay.

It's dark or "Baker's" chocolate that's particularily dangerous.

depends on the amount of theobromine in it. Like a candy bar chocolate he would have to eat a shit load but bakers chocolate 4 oz he would be dead.

Thanks guys,

Just did some research myself and the dog seems to be doing fine. I will keep a sharp eye on him for the next 12 hours.

Cheers,

he'll be fine... might barf, but everythings okay...

Interesting, did not know that.

Yep a 20 lb dog can eat a pound of milk chocolate before he shows poisoning.Now bakers chocolate 2 ozs and he is dead.

He should be ok, but I'd be pissed for eating my smarties!

my dog ate a full box of chocolate once (right on x-mas eve) and I had to get him to induce vomitting. Let me tell you it was a very long night :(

Hope your pup will be ok MC!

DH

It would suck to lose such a handsome boy.

wasnt very smart(ie) of him! (i crack myself up)

Very Nice dog!

Lookin at his size he'll be fine,
He might just shit water for a day

oh he is too cute.What breed is he?

dog + Chocolate = very bad actually ..

keep an eye on him .. and even better you should get them to puke it up if possible ....

best way to do that is .. find something long and thin .. say .. ..... your dick and stuff it down your dogs throat until it pukes them all up .. but thats just my thoughts ..

p.s. that is a damn nice looking dog though .. so you better do something quick ..

Beautiful dog brutha. Keep an eye on him heh.

You guys must have a totally different kind of Smarties up there. Down here Smarties are the equivalent of taking a piece of chalk and chopping it into 20 little round pieces and putting a plastic twist wrapper around the whole thing. And they're sour. :helpme

lol, was gonna say what country are you from, smarties are nasty ass sweet n sour tablets that seem to only find their way into homes during holloween probably because they are so cheap

Canadian Smarties are like M&Ms if I'm not mistaken.

Notice where the US ones are made.

the canadian smarties are the normal smarties :|

those other things are... I dont know wat they are :|

Trust US to steal names ^_^

They had the chocolate Smarties in the US when I was a kid back in the 60's. We always got pissed off when they were in our Halloween bags because they tasted like wax compared to M&Ms.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Hope Shakes is ok :)

Read the wrapper in the photo though. Says "Made in Canada". :1orglaugh

We're such fuckers!

Next thing you know, we'll be stealing all your holidays. :winkwink:

So do Canadians have M&Ms? Or is this it?

Yeah i thought it was any chocolate.... Thanks tony :thumbsup

LOL that is awesome.

i was gonna say, i didnt know smarties were chocolate

Those US Smarties are called Rockets up here in Canada. They are gross, and you get tonnes of them on Halloween here too. Only boys eat those things. blech!

I hope your dog is still doing just fine and stays away from chocolate from now on ;)

My dog is a 25lb pug/poodle and he ate a small box of halloween smarties my mom shipped down for christmas (gotta have em) and he was fine. Little shit was a little out of it for an hour but he bounced right back

your dog eats dvds... i think that would be worse

LOL Bad Shakes!

onions are the most toxic thing for dogs as far as i know

Also, grapes. Lots of random shit is toxic to dogs.

But yeah, a dog that size should be fine, especially with milk chocolate. Keep an eye on him, but I doubt you'll have to deal with anything other than runny shits.

yes of course - chocolate and peanut M&M's - most American candy is available except regional type stuff - even that obscure stuff can be had at the hip all candy stores where they sell all the retro candy

thats a cool looking dog!

my dog ate some chocolate candy bars a couple times and no harm - i think that chocolate thing with dogs is a bit of an urban myth.

my cat ate a dish of antifreeze and died 3 days laters, whoops :\

No not at all. But it has todo with the amount of cacao. Dark chocalate has much more in it, than those candybars/white chocalate/milk chocalate etc.

Be happy the dog didnt eat you ... he looks hungry.

my rottie used to steal boxes of smarties from me if I'd leave them laying around and eat the entire box. Nothing ever happened to him from it

he must be hungry. no need to worry as long he's doing ok.
