NEVER FEED CHOCOLATE TO DOGS

5th Jul 2018

Chocolate contains both theobromine and caffeine, both of which speed up the heart rate and stimulate the nervous system of dogs. Although theobromine is easily digested by humans, it can't be broken down by a dog’s digestive system, so becomes toxic.

But it's not just the amount of chocolate that has an effect on how badly a dog reacts; the level of cocoa and the darkness of the chocolate also has an effect - with darker chocolate containing a higher level of the toxic theobromine. As a rough guide, around 50g of plain chocolate could be enough to kill a small dog such as a Yorkshire Terrier, while just 400g could be enough to kill an average size dog.

SO the safest thing to do if you want to feed chocolate to your pet is to ONLY FEED DOG CHOCOLATE, this will be specially made minus the dangerous toxins that human chcolate contains. Stay safe and look after your fur babies.
