My dog ate 4 dove dark chocolates. We called the vet and they said based in his weight he should be fine and may have some GI upset but will still be fine. They said we did nlo have to induce vomiting. We just wanted a 2nd opinion as to whether we ahould be concerned about this? He is around 15lbs.

It is unlikely that 4 dove dark chocolates are enough to cause toxicity in your dog and I would concur with your veterinarian and not induce vomiting. If you like you can monitor your dog for signs of toxicity which should occur about 6 to 12 hours after ingestion, if at all, these being, hyperactivity and agittion, to at worst tremors and seizures. At the amount your dog ate I would not expect any signs, ar at the most, hyperactivity, which should pass after a while. If your dog gets very agitated then do see a veterinarian or take him to a pet ER.
