If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line immediately.
Why It's Dangerous
White chocolate contains only trace amounts of theobromine, since it's made from cocoa butter rather than cocoa solids, so theobromine toxicity is very unlikely. The bigger risk comes from its high fat and sugar content.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Abdominal discomfort
- Signs of pancreatitis if a large amount was eaten
Vet Guidance
Monitor for digestive upset. White chocolate is very unlikely to cause theobromine poisoning, but contact your vet if a large quantity was eaten or if vomiting/lethargy persists.
