Unfortunately the ingredients don't list exactly how much cocoa powder is in the mix. Is it 2.3% of 100g or is it 2.3% of the 35% cocoa cream. Without knowing exactly how much she ingested I cannot say for sure if the dose was toxic. I highly recommend you call Pet Poison Helpline. They will likely be able to help you better. ( https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com ) My personal opinion is that you should take Snoopy to an emergency vet. Cocoa powder is even more dangerous than regular chocolate as it can contain as much as 50% more theobromine (the fatal ingredient). So as little as four ounces could be deadlyl. You should go immediately to the vet and not wait for symptoms to begin.
