Chocolate-And other dangerous foods

[Christopher Robinson]

Is it ok to feed a dog chocolate?

In small amounts?
In large amounts?

Actually, there are quite a few "people" foods that are highly toxic to dogs; chocolate being one of them. The less the dog weighs, the less the amount of the substance it takes to cause death. Here is a short list of the major ones to be concerned about:

Chocolate: staggering, laboured breathing, vomiting, diarhea, abdominal pain, tremours, fever, heart rate increase, arrythmia, seizures, coma, death

Coffee / Cocoa: staggering, laboured breathing, vomiting, diarhea, abdominal pain, tremours, fever, heart rate increase, arrythmia, seizures, coma, death

Onions: Hemolytic Anemia, laboured breathing, liver damage, vomiting, diarhea, discoloured urine

Mushrooms: abdominal pain, drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting diarhea, convulsions, coma, death

Grapes / Raisins: vomiting, diarhea, abdominal pain, lethargy

Wow I had no idea how different a dog's biochem is from ours.

Boy my Victorian Bulldogs are fond of Chocolates but thanks to my wife that she keep control on that.

You would not believe this that for our Victorian Bulldogs we have stopped to bring chocolates at our home.
