Answer 1

Chocolate can be fatal to cats and dogs, for them chocolate is toxic. The theobromine in chocolate is what causes them harm, they can easily be poisoned.

Answer 2

Yes, chocolate is poisonous to cats and dogs. Some people say it isn't, but if they are feeding their cat/dog chocolate, they are actually slowly poisoning it. If you don't believe me, TALK TO YOUR VET.

Answer 3

Yes. Chocolate has an ingredient called theobromine. It can be toxic to a dog, resulting in convulsions and even death.

The amount of chocolate that is toxic to a dog is based on the type of chocolate (Milk Chocolate, semi-sweet or Baking Chocolate) and the dog's weight. Here is a rough estimate for each type:

1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate

1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate

1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate.

Symptoms of overdose range from lethargy to death. Do not feed chocolate to a dog! Yes, the types of chocolates which humans eat contain a substance called Theobromine, which is poinonous to dogs. That is why there are special "dog chocolates,," which do not contain any Theobromine, available from pet stores and supermarkets.

Answer 4

YES, depending on the amount your cat has.
