Dog ate chocolate - is this enough to take him to the vet?

I just caught my dog eating chocolate. He weighs 27 lbs. He ate two chocolate bars (42% chocolate, 3oz/85 gram each). Is this enough chocolate that I should take him into the vet?

Speedy advice appreciated.

Thanks

Update:

That's "42% cacao" on the label. It is milk chocolate.

    That is quite a bit of chocolate for a 27 pound dog,the only thing I can advice is to call a vet and see what they think.

    Actually you can induce vomiting by giving HP,but I do not recommend it until you consult with a vet first.Theres a video below on it by a veterinarian.

    I agree with the other poster. Call the vet and be sure to watch your dog carefully even if the vet says he's fine. Some dogs can eat anything. My friends Golden retriever ate a whole tray of brownies once and didn't bat an eye. You can never be too careful though.

    I Have a 25 ib shih tzu and he ate a chocolate pizza before, if you dont want to take him to the vet give him lots and lots of water and it will flush right out of his system.

    He needs to go to a vet NOW. That much chocolate can be pretty toxic to a 27lb dog. Take the wrapper with you so they know what they are dealing with. they need to induce vomiting.

    give them hydrogen peroxide to get him to vomit and take him to the vet, make sure to take whatever remains there are of the wrappings so that they can have all the information they need to make an informed decision in case vomit induction is not enough.
