Jinny just ate a chocolate cupcake wrapper, do you think she will be ok 🙈🤞🏻

She stole the empty wrapper from my sons room (ffs!!). Was literally just a cupcake wrapper with the crumbs of a chocolate cake in..

our dog has had many of these over the years, he is a terrible food thief.

In terms of the wrapper, obviously depends on the size of your dog, but they have never done steppedog any harm, I assume it breaks down a bit as it is paper and then passes through. (steppedog is a springer spaniel)

In terms of the chocolate, it is absolutely fine.
The dangerous thing in chocolate is a specific ingredient, and you can work out how much of that ingredient per kg of dog to see if it is OK.

Let's just say that the year steppedog ate half of dds birthday cake (massive homemade traybake sized thing) there was not even enough cocoa powerd in it to be 1/10 of the amount needed to be dangerous.

The year he ate a whole chocolate orange, was much more of a worry. Again we looked up the amount of grams of cocoa solid (according to the ingredients list) and compared with the weight of the dog.
That was closer. He weighs 20kg. Had he weighed 15, then we might have been in trouble.
He was fine.

Most chocolate is dilute enough that it isn't going to harm them. You need pure chocolate, high percentage to be an issue, (or high volume) cocoa powder in cakes etc just isn't enough.

My puppy ate a fairly large lump of chocolate cake that was littered on the road. Gulped it down just as I registered what it was. Mad panic thinking she would be poisoned. She was fine Smile.

She'll be fine unless she is a really tiny toy breed and a young puppy.

There isn't much chocolate in them anyway and the miniscule amount on the wrapper won't be enough to do any harm.

Paper cupcake wrappers were pre diabetes his absolute most favourite thing to eat. (Type 1, not related to diet of cake wrappers!). He was always fine, I don't think there's much cake left by then.

She'll be absolutely fine! Honestly, it's nothing to worry about.
