Are you giving chocolates to your dog; Stop it right away
It is hard to say no to our dogs as we love them to the core. And out of this love and concern, we forget or go above the limit to offer them with “anything” sometimes. But have you ever thought feeding them with “anything” can be dangerous and you might lose your furry friend? Today, I am talking about chocolate and why chocolate is not good for dogs.
My inbox is filled with this very question, and likewise, my family members keep on asking me why are you not giving Thor even a piece of chocolate? So, for all my readers and my loved ones, here is the detailed answer for you. While at the end of the post; I will be expecting your reviews in the comment section. So let us get started.
Is chocolate good for dogs?
Two ingredients in chocolate make it toxic for dogs and that are theobromine and caffeine. Both of these elements when enter in the body of the dog increases the flow of blood which results in vomiting, hyperactivity, and heavy breathing.

Which chocolate should I feed my dog?
Chocolate is chocolate at the end of the day! Let us understand in this way. Any chocolate bar, toffee or even a lollypop will have sugar in it; otherwise, it will not be what it is. And sugar does not fall under the kitchen essentials for dog’s right. So, this is the first reason why is chocolate not good for dogs and why am I saying don't give any amount of chocolate to them. So, whether it is cocoa chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, medium sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, candy, toffee, milk chocolate or whatever; it should not go to the mouth of your pet. So, this is why chocolate is not good for dogs.
What quantity of chocolate is fine for dogs?
Frankly speaking, no amount of chocolate is good for dogs, or any pets be it cat, hamster or birds. The intensity of the adverse reaction of chocolate depends on the weight and breed of the dogs. But on the whole, response will always be negative. So, next time when someone says “Just give a piece of chocolate; nothing will happen” answer them with a strict no and explain the reason behind it too.
