You should never intentionally feed your dog any type of cookie. <b>Some cookies do contain ingredients that can be toxic for dogs, like chocolate, raisins, and macadamia nuts.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_my_dog_eats_a_sugar_cookie\"><\/span>What happens if my dog eats a sugar cookie?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your dog has snatched a sugar cookie or another dessert that is high in sugar, butter, and flour but doesn&#8217;t have the above ingredients, <b>it&#8217;s probably not toxic, though unhealthy.

In particular, chocolate is toxic to dogs because it contains methylxanthines like caffeine and theobromine, which dogs cannot break down like we can.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_my_dog_eats_a_chocolate_cookie\"><\/span>What happens if my dog eats a chocolate cookie?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most cases of chocolate ingestion are not fatal, and in most instances, <b>a dog that ate a chocolate chip cookie will do just fine, especially if caught early enough. If there has been a delay in providing treatment, it may be necessary to administer activated charcoal to your dog once they have stopped vomiting.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_chocolate_cookies_can_a_dog_eat\"><\/span>How many chocolate cookies can a dog eat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Threat to pets It&#8217;s the dose that makes the poison! Pets that ingest a few MMs or <b>1-2 bites of a chocolate chip cookie are unlikely to develop chocolate poisoning. For milk chocolate, any ingestion of more than 0.5 ounces per pound of body weight may put dogs at risk for chocolate poisoning.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_chocolate_kills_a_dog\"><\/span>How much chocolate kills a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While this depends on the type of chocolate, it can take only <b>0.3 ounces of concentrated chocolate per pound of body weight to kill a dog. Milder types of chocolates vary from 0.5 to 2 ounces. This is because chocolates contain theobromine, which is a lethal chemical for dogs.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_a_dog_eats_a_cookie\"><\/span>What happens if a dog eats a cookie?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your dog has only eaten a small piece of plain cookie, then their digestive system will probably process it just fine.
