Chocolate contains substance known as theobromine that is difficult for dogs and other non-human animals to metabolized. I can be fatal to dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, bird and other pets, according to the Ontario Canada, SPCA.

The dog or animal should be induced to vomit because the theobromine in chocolate is toxic to some animals even though it is safe for human consumption.

The dog or other pet should then be rushed to the vet because the theobromine and other stimulants in chocolate can induce a fatal heart arrhythmia in some non-human animals. The dog may or may not need to have its stomach pump, but a vet needs to make that determination.

Cooking chocolate is the most toxic, followed by Dark Chocolate, followed by milk and white chocolate

See the related link to an article that notes the reason's why chocolate is toxic on page three and it notes the other animals for which chocolate is toxic

Although it does take a fairly large amount of chocolate for a dog to show any clinical signs, I wouldn't recommend it.

Clinical signs of dogs consuming too much chocolate include:

  • vomiting
  • muscle tremors
  • increase urination
  • diarrhea
  • restlessness
  • hyper irritability
  • hyper excitability

Yes, it can cause liver damage or even death. Chocolate has a compound called theobromine in it which is extremely toxic to dogs.

No, No. Us humans cause Allergies in our pet because we feed them foods that they become allergic to. Ask you vet what you should feed your pet.
