That&#8217;s a couple of packages of regular sized MM&#8217;s. If your dog ate an entire bar of dark chocolate (3 oz), he would experience <b>vomiting and diarrhea.

The amount of chocolate in a single MM is negligible even for a very small dog. Even a whole 1.7-ounce packet of milk chocolate MMs could make a small dog sick, but it isn&#8217;t likely to cause symptoms in a medium or large dog.
