I’m sorry, but yes, even a few chocolate chips can be harmful to dogs. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to them. The severity of the reaction depends on the type and amount of chocolate consumed, as well as the size of the dog. It’s best to contact a veterinarian immediately if your dog has eaten chocolate. In my experience, even a small amount can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and in severe cases, seizures or even death. Always keep chocolate away from dogs for their safety.
