do you know why dogs can die from chocloclate?

Why cant dogs eat chocolate? I always have wondered why. Does it have something in there that is poisoning to them?

Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which both of these agents can affect the central nervous system and the heart in dogs. Simply dogs cannot metabolize theobromine as well as humans can- which can lead to it reaching toxic levels.

The worst a Hershey bar can do to you is add an inch to your hips. But that same candy – even in relatively small amounts – can make a dog very sick. Make no mistake: For them, chocolate is poison. In addition to a high fat content, chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, two different types of stimulants that affect the central nervous system and the heart muscle, as well as increasing the frequency of urination.

Yes they get poisoned from it. Be careful especially with young or very old dogs.

I have always wondered why dogs can't eat chocolate, until I recently found out that, as you said, there is poison-like ingredients that can hurt them. I don't believe that they can digest it. But don't worry! What I said about poison only counts for dogs, not humans!
