Dogs should not eat chocolate

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which contain methylxanthine derivatives, such as caffeine and theobromine. Theobromine can affect the central nervous system and myocardium, thus poisoning dogs. Both humans and cats can digest theobromine through metabolism, but dogs do not have this function in their digestive system.

The dose is difficult to control

Based on the calculation of a 10KG dog, if a small amount of chocolate is fed to the dog, it is far from reaching a slightly toxic dose, so it will not be poisoned. However, if the dog weighs less than 10KG, if it eats this piece of chocolate, it will be slightly poisoned or near the critical value. Dogs that are lighter may develop symptoms of poisoning. However, this amount is difficult to control, so it is best not to feed chocolate to dogs.

It is best not to feed it

It is best not to feed chocolate to dogs casually, let alone use chocolate as dog snacks. Because in the final analysis, most dogs will be poisoned when eating chocolate because their bodies do not have the enzyme to digest theobromine.
