It’s true that chocolate is very bad for dogs, specifically cocoa. However, you would be hard pressed to find commercial “chocolate” with actual cocoa in it in any significant quantities. Really premium dark chocolate might contain enough to make them sick but not enough to cause serious problems.

I read that a lot of Hershey products contain no chocolate at all. They had to fight with the FDA to call their stuff chocolate.

The new version is called Chocolate Candy which is code for chocolate-flavored confection, or candy that contains chocolate but can’t be called chocolate because it has other stuff in it that’s not permitted by the FDA definitions (like more oil than actual chocolate).

The ingredients: Sugar, vegetable oil (palm, shea, sunflower and/or safflower oil), chocolate, nonfat milk, whey, cocoa butter, milk fat, gum arabic, soy lecithin, artificial colors (red 40, yellow 5, blue 2, blue 1, yellow 6), corn syrup, resinous glaze, salt, carnauba wax, pgpr and vanillin.
