How much chocolate can a dog ingest before it can harm him?

Answer 1

Chocolate is NEVER good for dogs. but sometimes it's not bad enough to be noticed.

How much will vary depending upon the type of chocolate, the percentage of cacao in the chocolate and the size and health status of the dog.

In general, it is easier to say that any chocolate is too much, because the only safe amount of chocolate for all dogs is "none". It's best to avoid having ANY type of chocolate within the dog's reach.

Baking Chocolate is the worst kind of chocolate to give to a dog.

Answer 2

== == Do not take any chances: do not feed your dog chocolate and avoid leaving it out where they might reach it.

Larger amounts of chocolate, particularly of the most toxic type, can bring about epileptic seizures in some dogs, and in all dogs, can kill. Chocolate contains theobromine. A naturally occurring stimulant found in the cocoa bean, theobromine increases urination and affects the central nervous system as well as heart muscle. While amounts vary by type of chocolate, it's the theobromine that is poisonous to dogs. This can lead to hyperthermia, muscle tremors, seizures, coma and even death. if a dog is very lucky(but will have to go through surgery)it would be about a cake
A dog should not eat any chocolate. Even a very small amount of chocolate can cause vomiting and diarrhea in a dog. Chocolate (actually the cocoa beans) contains a chemical compound called theobromine, which is toxic to both dogs and cats.
it depends on how big the dog is

a pound of chocolate can hurt a 13 inch beagle and dogs a little bigger

Answer 3

One Hershey kiss, frozen and propelled at 900 ft/sec can be lethal.

If you are wondering about a lethal dose, it depends on the size of the animal, its general health and how sensitive it is to it. A single candy bar can kill a small dog. Don't feed your dog chocolate.

Answer 4

Some people, this is believed to be genetic , have a very poor tolerance for chocolate and they may have difficulty in digesting it properly. There is no point in going on daredevil eating contests, one wishes that this sort of thing(Nathan"s did this with Frankfurters) should be abolished. It makes (Speed-eating) into some sort of sport and even practice sessions could be hazardous. People have succumbed in speed-drinking contests involving stuff as harmless as water. seek your own pace- everything in moderation! there is no point in food-speed eating contests and the Guiness book of world records no longer records them.

Answer 5

I have a little Maltese and she once ate one chocolate chip and she was fine. It was an accident. I wouldn't try giving any to her. But if all they eat is like one or two Chocolate Chips they should be fine!

Answer 6

It varies from breed to breed, dog to dog, and the amount of theobromine in the chocolate. Some dogs can handle quite a bit, while others will fall ill and die from the smallest amount. The safest course of action is to never allow your dog to eat chocolate, and in the event he does manage to get some, immediately feed him hydrogen peroxide and water to induce vomiting and take him to an emergency veterinarian.
