Next stepDo not offer white chocolate; call for meaningful exposure.

Call for more than a crumb

Call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline if your cat ate more than a tiny amount, ate sugar-free white chocolate, or has symptoms.

It is still chocolate candy

Less cocoa does not make it useful or safe for cats.

Add-ins matter

Sugar-free sweeteners, nuts, raisins, coffee, and cocoa change urgency.

Estimate the amount

  • Remove the chocolate and estimate how much your cat ate.
  • Check for xylitol, macadamia nuts, raisins, coffee, cocoa, or other added ingredients.

Avoid chocolate products

  • White chocolate, white chocolate chips, candy bars, baking chips, desserts, sugar-free chocolate, macadamia nut chocolate, and large amounts.
  • Waiting at home if your cat ate a large amount or has vomiting, tremors, weakness, or abnormal behavior.

Watch

  • Vomiting, diarrhea, belly pain, restlessness, lethargy, fast heart rate, tremors, or appetite changes.

Portion

Do not offer any amount.
