GulpCheck Pet poison check

Your dog ate chocolate. How worried should you be?

Answer three questions. We calculate the dose for your dog's weight using veterinary toxicity thresholds and tell you what to do next.

1. How much does your dog weigh?
2. What kind of chocolate?
3. About how much did they eat?

Not sure? Guess high. It is safer to overestimate.

    GulpCheck gives general information based on published veterinary toxicity thresholds (Merck Veterinary Manual). Chocolate strength varies by brand, so doses are estimates. This is not a diagnosis. If you are worried, call your vet or a poison line now. Prototype for testing.
