whats the deal with dogs and chocolate?

Its poisonous due the theobromine in the chocolate. It also contains caffeine which is not good for dogs either. The level of poisoning also depends on the type of chocolate. A dark chocolate or bakers chocolate have more theobromine in it and as a result is more poisonous. White chocolate has much less so it is "safer" for the dog to eat.How a dog reacts depends on amount ingested and how much a dog weights.

I'm not completely sure. I've read it is poisonous, so have never let my dogs go near it.

However my neighbour's Alsation eats Dairy Milk chocolate on a regular basis and is always fine, and my Aunt's westie once ate a whole packet of chocolate biscuits by accident and was completely fine.

On the other hand my partner's parents once had a bull mastiff, it ate a huge chocolate easter egg by accident and they had to take it to the vet straight away because it got very ill. It didn't die, but still...it was in a bad way.

To be on the safe side I just wouldn't give them chocolate :-) I give my dogs special doggy chocolate which they like :-)

Dogs can't eat chocolate because of the theobromine contained in it, which is toxic to them. However, white chocolate has a very low amount of theobromine in it so in small amounts I imagine they'd be fine with it. It's the same with cats.

Chocolate is slightly poisonous for dogs to eat.

be very careful with chocolate! dogs love it but a tablet can kill them ! So just a tiny peace , and not too often.
