There is a substance in chocolate that is toxic to dogs, even the cocoa bark mulch that is sold in some of the home improvement stores has been found to make dogs sick. The worst kind of chocolate for a dog to get into is the bakers chocolate, it seems to have a higher toxicity for dogs. A dog should be closely watched and a vet should be consulted if a dog gets into any kind of chocolate though.

There are several factors that would determine whether a dog would react to chocolate poisoning, but I personally wouldn't test it. Some chocolates, such as dark chocolate are much more toxic than milk chocolate. Also, the size of the dog can play a role. A dosage that would affect a Chihuahua may not affect a Great Dane. Nevertheless, I wouldn't give your dog chocolate at all, because there are countless treats made specifically for dogs, and are safe to use.

Don't test it. Ask your vet if you should treat your dog with a piece of chocolate now and then. Trust me - the vet won't say yeah. There are plenty of dog treats to give your dog....stick with the things made specifically for your pet. Keep him/her healthy!

I occasionally feed my two dogs a Junior Mint or two, with no adverse consequences. It's the quantity of caffeine and theobromine that are of most concern. "No chocolate" is a weakest-link warning: If pet experts said chocolate was OK for dogs IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS, you just know there are people who would feed chocolate to their dogs all day long.

It depends. One of my dogs accidentally got hold of some chocolate, and I was in fear. However, when I called the vet, he said that to keep an eye on the dog. My dog was lucky that time, but I would never suggest giving dogs chocolate.

I know chocolate is not good for dogs. However, I was told that the kind of chocolate that is very toxic is the baking chocolate. The choc chips, the baking cocoa powder and other chocolate stuff like that.
Hope that helps:)

We had a border collie growing up that ate a whole bag of M7M peanuts. She was fine and lucky I guess! We never left candy around after that though.
