    It really should have been theobromine, from chocolate. It's 1000mg/kg via oral ingestion.

    This is what kills dogs, as they're more susceptible at 200mg/kg. They've gotta really pack in the chocolate first to reach that, though. And it had better be dark chocolate for its higher levels of theobromine. Pure cocoa has about 2.1% theobromine by weight.
