Can dogs die or get sick if they eat alot of chocolate2007-11-25 2:59:57Answers:

Yes, theobromine is a chemical in chocolate that dogs can not metabolize and is toxic to them. If this happened get to your vet asap, the longer it has been digestiing the worse the problems. It is ideal to make the dog vomit, peroxide works, and give activated charcoal to absorb any left over toxins. However your vet should being administering this treatment. They will not use peroxide, they will use apomorphine injection. Please see your vet.

Yes. That is absolutely true. As a general rule, the smaller the size of the dog, the less chocolate it can consume without getting sick or dying. Also, dark chocolate is much worse than milk chocolate. Very small quantities of chocolate (e.g., 5 or 10 grams) will likely not cause any illness, regardless of the size of the dog.

Absolutely, chocolate is capable of effecting adverse conditions for your dog. in fact, if you feed your dog more than 500 grams of dark chocolate i guarantee they will either become very sick or even die.
