Fluffy ate a bag of chocolate chips..Uh Oh

Include the milligrams of theobromine on packages of chocolate goods. This is so when you find your dog wagging his tail next to an empty box of oreos or a box of milkduds, you can decide whether or not to immediately take him to emergency veterinary services.

my Dino ate a whole box of chocolates with no side effects whatsoever. she was a very skinny lurcher cross who also consumed a packet of aspirin another time. in fact, she would eat almost anything. perhaps, mongrels have less sensitive systems?

ah, after reading the link - it was most probably milk chocolate...

This would also be useful for humans who enjoy or are allergic or addicted to theobromine. [+]

This would also be useful for gods who want to know how much of their food is in the package.

Surely God knows already, and isn't particularly concerned either way.
