Poisoning

Chocolate is toxic to dogs due to the presence of theobromine and caffeine. Ingestion can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart rate, restlessness, muscle tremors, seizures, and even death. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic. Keep all chocolate products away from dogs.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
