Well, it actually depends what sort of chocolate and the amount the dog had consumed. I mean, if its a large amount of chocolate then there are possibilities.
One bar of chocolate from the shops wouldn't kill a dog, it would probably only give the dog a stomach ache and that's about it. Dogs have to consume a fair lot of chocolate to feel ill or feel any negative effects. Dark baker's chocolate is very toxic to ANY dog because it contains a large amount of caffeine and bromethalin. However, Milk Chocolate and white chocolate have hardly any caffeine in at all, so if dogs consume that, they will only experience diarrhoea and stomach aches.
Hope I helped! :)

Your dog ate a lot of dark chocolate and wont eat or drink is she going to die?
It is not good for dogs to ingest significant amount of chocolate. The best thing to do would be to take your dog to a vet right away.
What happens if a dog eats 3 pieces of chocolate?
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, so this could be dangerous for the dog. It would depend on what type of chocolate the dog ate. Dark chocolate or chocolate with lots of cocoa in it is the most dangerous, with milk chocolate being less dangerous and white chocolate being the least dangerous. The size of the dog would also affect how dangerous it is, so if a big dog ate 3 pieces of chocolate it might be ok, while it could be very dangerous if a small dog ate 3 pieces of chocolate. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your dog for 24 hours after he/she ate chocolate and if the dog shows signs of nausea, being wobbly or drinking a lot of water then the dog should be taken to the vet immediately.

What happens if your dog drinks coffee?
Your dog will probably get sick, depending on how much he/she drank. Symptoms include hyperactivity, muscle twitching, increased urination, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure. Severe symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, siezures, and possibly death. If your dog expresses any of these symptoms, call animal poison control at (888) 426-4435 or your local vet hospital. Hope I could help!!!
What if your dog ate39 chcocolate Bars?
If your dog ate a chocolate bar then ring your vet immediately and they will tell you what to do. This is because chocolate contains, in addition to a high fat content, caffeine and theobromine, two different types of stimulants that affect the central nervous system and the heart muscle, as well as increasing the frequency of urination.
What type of food makes dogs sick?
Well, chocolate is supposed to be " poisonous" to dogs, but if they only have a little bit it won't harm them. Say you dropped a piece of chocolate on the floor and your dog ate it, it would be okay as long as they didn't have a lot. Also, it depends on your dog. Maybe your dog gets sick because it licks up some milk. Really it is different for every dog, but chocolate is supposed to be " poisonous" so I recommend you don't give your dog chocolate, but it would be okay if you didn't mean to give it to him.

What does chocolate do to a dog's health and why?
Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause the dog to die. This is because dogs are very sensitive to a toxin in chocolate called theobromine. Incidentally, this is also toxic to humans, but there isn't enough in most chocolates to cause a problem for humans. Theobromine is related to caffeine and is a stimulant. In dogs it can cause heart arrhythmias and heart palpatations, which can lead to death.
What happens if a 40 lb dog eats 4-5 oz of milk chocolate?
I have recently seen a 30 LB dog die from eating 8 oz of milk chocolate. It turns out that it depends on the type of chocolate - the chemical that really does a number on them is Theobromine, and milk chocolate has less than most other chocolate products. Courtesy of the Hershey Co. website, the ratio is 74 mg per 1.55 oz in milk chocolate (assuming that this milk chocolate wasn't homemade). Incidentally, my own Weimaraner ate one of those huge bars, and after the calling the vet, their response was, "Was she smiling?" My Weimaraner would fall under the same weight category, but is also larger than some other breeds (for a visual think Greyhound or Great Dane), so the end result was a lot of hyperactivity. However, if the dog is a smaller dog, say 40 lbs but the stature of one of my former dogs, the German Shepherd/Chow mix, it'd be better to err on the side of safety and check to see if there's any abnormalities with the Central Nervous System, heart, and/or kidneys.
