How much chocolate are in thin mints?!
Answers: Today when I was gone my dog somehow got into a box of my girl scout thin mints and ate 13 cookies. I know a dog can die from chocolate poisoning but how much chocolate is actually in a thin mint cookie? I looked on the box and it is listed as the 4th most used ingredient. What should I do??
my dog got into 2 stockings one christmas and ate all of the chocolate coins, peanut better cups, etc... (point being, more than the equivalent of 13 thin mints... i was very worried about poisoning... this is what i'd found then: milk chocolate is not really all that worrisome. it's the baking chocolate which contains the most theobromine...
The toxic effect is calculated by the amount of theobromine,and the weight of the dog.
1 oz per pound of body wt. for milk chocolate
1 oz per 3 lbs. of body wt. for semisweet chocolate
1 oz per 9 lbs. of body wt. for unsweetened baking chocolate
most likely, your dog will do what mine did... look up at you with the most ashamed and revolted face you've ever seen them make, while being sick from both ends... mine had a good 24 hours of the runs with some vomiting at first. (all which started about an hour after she ate it all.)
go to the vet.................those things have so much sugar in them
