For years, I have been told that the combination of dogs and chocolate is fatal. Then, other people have told me that their dogs eat chocolate ice cream every night. So, I honestly don't know what the full story is on the matter.
The night before last, we were headed out to Seaboard. Abigayle was sitting in the back seat with part of our herd. Quietly, she remarked to me that she was sure going to miss Saudy (the queen of the herd). I asked her why. Again, very quietly and sadly, she remarked to me that Saudy had just drunk Abi's chocolate malt. Oh, My Goodness!!! That was NOT something that any of us wanted to hear! Of course, I told her to get rid of the malt YESTERDAY if not SOONER! She did.
Though we took this quite seriously, I have to admit that it was so cute the way that Abigayle gave us the news. We couldn't help but laugh!!!
To update you on the current condition of Saudy, she appears to be doing just fine other than we noticed that she had vomited one time yesterday. Other than that, she is running around the yard and playing with the rest of the herd. I think that she will be just fine.

Lynn, I was always under the same impression that they would die if they ate chocolate. My dogs have many times gotten into chocolate like candy bars or whatever they shouldn't. I talked to the vet, and he told me that bakers chocolate IS fatal to dogs! I am assuming that that is the squares of chocolate maybe. So, that is what I know about it.
