I’ve got to emphasize, chocolate is extremely hazardous for dogs. Even a small amount can be dangerous. The toxic component in chocolate is theobromine, which affects their nervous system and heart. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain higher theobromine levels, posing severe risks even in small quantities. As for me, I once witnessed a dog fall ill after ingesting just a small piece of dark chocolate. Symptoms of chocolate toxicity may include vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, seizures, and, in severe cases, even death. Remember, it’s crucial to keep chocolate entirely out of your furry friend’s reach.
