chocolates are toxic to dogs and can almost kill them. Many people think that culprit is caffeine. It is not rather, it is the theobromine in chocolate that is the potential dog killer. How much chocolate will kill a dog? It depends on the age and health of your pet. If your dog is twelve years old and did not have a healthy life; a smaller amount of chocolate might be lethal . Whereas active two years old dog may tolerate it well.
White chocolate will make your dog sick because of the fat content long before the toxic levels of theobromine are reached.
Symptoms of chocolate poisoning - vomiting or diarrhea, trembling, over-excited, or actually start to have seizures. It may fall into a coma and ultimately die. The best thing to do for your pet is to get it to your veterinarian within two hours of the ingestion.
