The kind (Fazer blue) our puppy got is not really fancy by our standards, but it's still 30% cocoa and (according to vet) if left untreated death was at least a strong risk and it can cause permanent problems with the heart and other stuff. Vet recommended immediate visit unless the dog vomits and they could've induced vomiting with some medicine, but the sooner it gets out of stomach the better so the salt did what it was supposed to.
Obviously it's not pleasant to the dog, but feeling ill for a while is still way better outcome of this.
Yeah, that's 3x a standard Hershey's...
Plus being a puppy too, you did the right thing calling.
