My dog licked some cocoa powder that was dusted on my shirt! I don’t know how much exactly is toxic to dogs but he is 22lbs. Is there cause for concern?

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Leo. Based on his weight, he would need to ingest at least 10g of cocoa powder to cause mild to moderate symptoms. Licking some that was on your shirt should not cause any problems. I hope this helps!
