Chocolate

Although a treat for humans, chocolate can be lethal to dogs. Chocolate contains a chemical called “theobromine”. Its levels vary greatly with the chocolate’s cocoa content and this has a direct effect on how toxic it can be if ingested by dogs.

Signs are vomiting, diarrhoea, tremors and seizures following ingestion. Severe cases can be fatal. Treatment is to induce vomiting promptly and supportive nursing care. Prognosis is favourable if only a small amount is consumed and rapid treatment is received. Use the calculator below to determine your dog’s risk.
