Is Chocolate Toxic to Dogs?
Dogs metabolize these chemicals differently from humans. so, the chance of poisoning is high in dogs. Whether chocolate will cause poisoning or not depends on the amount of chocolate ingested, type of chocolate, and overall health status of the pet.
As low as 20 mg/kg theobromine ingestion can cause mild symptoms like drooling, vomiting, or diarrhea. Ingestion of theobromine more than 200 mg/kg can cause seizures or even death.
Chocolates are poisonous to your pets. They contain two chemicals that are toxic to dogs and cats. The chemicals are called theobromine and caffeine.
Different types of chocolates have different amounts of these chemicals. So, the amount and the type of chocolate determine the severity of toxicity. White chocolate and milk chocolate are the least toxic due to less amount of these chemicals.
Dark chocolates have more levels of theobromine. So they are more dangerous. With the upcoming holiday season, cases of chocolate toxicity will go up. So keep your furry animals away from chocolates.
