NEVER EVER FEED YOUR DOGS CHOCOLATE!
Chocolate is TOXIC to dogs!
Chocolate contains theobromine which is toxic to dogs. This chemical compound is part of the xanthnine which is the same family that contains caffeine and theophylline. The toxic dose varies from dog to dog, depending on factors such as weight of the dog and the dog’s metabolism level. It needs a certain amount of chocolate to cause harm to the dogs. Generally, the toxic level of theobromine is between 100 and 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.
The clinical signs of dog poisoned by chocolate are:
- Excitability
- Irritability
- Increase in heart rate
- Increased urination
- Restlessness
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Muscle tremors
Thus, it is important to have an emergency kit on hand, and to make sure that the emergency kit contains activated charcoal. Activated charcoal can bind to many different kinds of poisons, making it an essential part of any pet emergency kit.
If you suspect that their dog has eaten a toxic compound, you should lookout for any of the clinical signs shown above, and bring your lovely dogs to vet immediately with some information such as the type of chocolate consumed, suspected amount and how long passed since ingestion. Only a veterinarian can determine the best action to save your pets.
