White chocolate does contain very low levels of theobromine and caffeine, which are the toxic components in chocolate for dogs. However, it's important to note that the high fat and sugar content in white chocolate can still pose a risk, particularly for a young dog like your 6-month-old dachshund. These ingredients can lead to gastrointestinal upset or even pancreatitis.

Given the amount your dog has consumed, it's crucial to keep a close eye on them for any signs of distress. Be vigilant for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, or any unusual behavior. If you notice any of these symptoms or if your dog seems unwell in any way, it's essential to seek veterinary care immediately.

In the meantime, make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water and try to keep them calm and comfortable. It's best to avoid giving any more treats or rich foods for the next 24 hours to allow their stomach to settle.

Considering the potential for serious complications, I strongly recommend contacting your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic for further advice. They can provide guidance tailored to your dog's specific situation and help ensure their safety.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
