I just spilled my venti latte with an extra espresso shot onto the bed and Cassidy drank a significant amount of it before I was able to get it cleaned up. How much coffee is toxic to dogs? Should I take him to emergency?

Oh no, that's not good! Symptoms can occur with the consumption of 9 mg/pound of caffeine. I don't know how much Cassidy ingested, but you may see signs. I'd take him into the emergency vet now to be safe. Best of luck.
