Is chocolate toxic to dogs?
Yes, the theobromine in chocolate is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause fatal heart arrhythmias as well as liver damage. The larger the dog and the smaller the amount of chocolate, the less likely your dog is to die from eating chocolate, although it doesn't take much chocolate to kill even a Great Dane. Also, there are toxicity differences between the different types of chocolate: milk chocolate has slightly less risk than semi-sweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate.

What will happen if your puppy eats a whole chocolate egg?
It really depends on the weight of your dog or puppy, and the kind of Chocolate, and the amount the dog ate. No amount of Chocolate is good for a dog to eat. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are most dangerous to dogs, milk and white chocolate pose a much less serious risk. 20 ounces of milk chocolate, 10 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, and just 2.25 ounces of baking Chocolate could potentially kill a 22-pound dog. Unsweetened baking chocolate contains about 390 milligrams of Theobromine per ounce (the substance in Chocolate that's toxic to dogs), that about 10 times more than milk Chocolate and more than twice as much as semi-sweet Chocolate. White Chocolate contains very little Theobromine. Serious toxic reactions can happen if your dog eats of about 100 to 150 milligrams of Theobromine per kilogram of body weight. If you think your dog ate Chocolate, call your vet's office, or call animal poison control. You need to get help before your dog shows symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, hyperactivity, muscle tremors, restlessness and rapid heartbeat.

While chocolate can be toxic in dogs, milk chocolate is less hazardous than dark chocolate and the amount of chocolate in a single M&M is small. Given that and the size of your dog, I think she'll be OK. See the related link. If she starts acting sick, not eating or vomiting, take her to be checked out by the Vet right away.

It depends on the dog, Chocolate is very bad for dogs because of the Toxic Theobromine content. I recommend keeping an eye on your dog to see if they have any trouble breathing, muscle twitches or vomiting. If any of these occur please contact your local vet... Milk chocolate is not as bad as dark chocolate and unsweetened is the worst, white chocolate has almost no Theobromine and is safe for dogs
Can dogs drink fat free milk?
Dogs are unable to digest animal milk of any kind other than dog milk. It would destroy their digestive system. This is also true for anything with milk in it, such as chocolate. As far as I am aware, special dog milk is made that doesn't harm their digestive system. There is also dog chocolate and dog ice-cream.

Can eat dogs eat chocolate?
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
What will happen if dogs have chocolate?
A human's liver is far better at dealing with certain kinds of chemicals than a dog's or cat's is. A lot of foods that are perfectly fine for humans are poisonous to dogs and/or cats.Chocolate contains several chemicals called xanthenes (caffeine is one type of xanthene) that are toxic to dogs. What happens depends on how big the dog is, how much chocolate they eat, and whether it's dark or milk chocolate (dark chocolate has more xanthenes than milk chocolate). If a large dog eats a small piece of milk chocolate it probably won't do much harm, but you shouldn't intentionally feed it to them.
