Why cant dogs eat chocolate2007-11-25 2:55:45

Cats have much different eating habits and seldom are poisoned by chocolate.

While a very small amount of chocolate may not harm some dogs, it's safest to avoid giving it to them at all. If an accident occurs, a veterinarian should be consulted. Treatment may require inducing vomiting, stabilizing the animal's heartbeat and respiration, controlling seizures and slowing the absorption of Theo bromine. If the animal already is comatose, its stomach may need to be pumped.

The reason why dogs can't eat chocolate is that it's soo not for them & their bodies. Maybe because they don't 'mix'. Also, it COULD poison their bodies.

I had a Rottweiler, he loved chocolate, and he lived to be 12. He had no health problems other than bad hips, which Rottweilers usually get cause they're so big. I dont understand why people say not to feed it to them.

Theobromine is in chocolate, and this is toxic to dogs and cats. It affects their liver and/or kidneys. Read this article for more info:

Not sure but my neighbor just told me that I'm not supposed to eat chocolate when I'm pregnant. WTH?! I don't think so... I indulged in my chocolate mousse ice cream anyways. YUM!
