Give her a belly rub. Not to worry - in that quanity and quality no trouble.

- Forget the exact figures but I believe it was about 1 and 1/2 pound of bakers chocolate for a 50 lb dog to be fatal. In Oreo cookies the bigger worry would be the amount of fat and sugar - but that's what makes them so darn good.

I was just petsitting for a dog who got into some brownies......I called the vet, which this dog is 60 pds ,so bigger then your puppy I would imagine. Anyways vet said that the worse scenerio would be stomach problems.

- Yeah...she only weighs about 10 pounds, so hopefully she will be fine then. Thank you! :)

Get the Skewer ready sounds like somebody's eating fresh roasted pooch stuffed with oreos : P
Comments
- That might actually sound good if it wasn't dog and the flavors weren't too sweet...lol

Chocolate and dogs is a myth. My dog can eat more chocolate than I can, and he weighs about 15 lbs. He's a miniature schnauzer.
Chocolate and some BREEDS is absolutely true. My grandma's collies get really sick from it.
Comments
- Really? And he doesn't get sick at all? My pup weighs about 10 pounds and hopefully her breed isn't one that is affected :) Thank you~

- He ate a whole bag of chocolate easter eggs (1 pound) FOIL AND ALL. He never even got the runs. We never even saw the foil come out. It was amazing.

- Wow! Lol. Even I would get sick if I ate a whole bag of chocolate without the foil!

I think she'll be okay. I've had dogs who've eaten more than that.
Comments
- Ok, good. I knew she was being uncannily quiet...and every time she is quiet, she is up to no good...lol

I don't think that will be a problem. I mean, my dog at a bowl of Hershey Kisses once, and she was fine, so I don't see what harm a couple of Oreos could do.
Comments
- Wow! That's a lot of chocolate...lol. I wonder why I always have heard that dogs get sick from chocolate?

The kind of chocolate and the amount involved is not going to be dangerous. Just remember that pure chocolate, such as baking chocolate can kill dogs. To be safe, don't let them have any.

If you have any questions, as her vet.

- Thank you :)
