yes apparently if you give your dog just four squares of chocolate it can kill them as it triggers fits in dogs as chocolate contains a substance which is harmless to humans but fatal to dogs

Chocolates are bad for dogs. Dogs are not able to "handle" the caffeine that is in chocolate. The caffeine can actually cause them to have a heart attack. Do not give.

Its not the matter of choclates and the matter of sweet. It makes lose of hair.

We've all heard it, "Don't give your dog chocolate it will kill him". We'll how true is it you're probably wondering. Do I have to rush him to an emergency vet if he ate one of my M&M's?The truth is chocolate contains theobromine that is toxic to dogs in sufficient quantities. This is a xanthine compound in the same family of caffeine, and theophylline.Toxic LevelsThe good news is that it takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction. Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration.On average,Milk chocolate contains 44 mg of theobromine per oz.Semisweet chocolate contains 150mg/oz.Baker's chocolate 390mg/oz.Using a dose of 100 mg/kg as the toxic dose it comes out roughly as:1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate.So, for example, 2 oz. of Baker's chocolate can cause great risk to an 15 lb. dog. Yet, 2 oz. of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems. Clinical SignsXanthines affect the nervous system, cardiovascular system and peripheral nerves. It has a diuretic effect as well. Clinical signs: Hyper excitability Hyper irritability Increased heart rate Restlessness Increased urination Muscle tremors Vomiting DiarrheaTreatmentThere is no specific antidote for this poisoning. And the half life of the toxin is 17.5 hours in dogs. Induce vomiting in the first 1-2 hours if the quantity is unknown. Administering activated charcoal may inhibit absorption of the toxin. An anticonvulsant might be indicated if neurological signs are present and needs to be controlled. Oxygen therapy, intravenous medications, and fluids might be needed to protect the heart.Milk chocolate will often cause diarrhea 12-24 hours after ingestion. This should be treated symptomatically (fluids, etc..) to prevent dehydration.If you suspect your pet has ingested chocolate contact your Vet immediately! They can help you determine the the proper treatment for your pet.

When I worked in a vet's office, a dog was brought in who'd gotten into some baking cocoa powder and eaten it. His pupils dilated, he was walking like he was really drunk, vomiting, and had severe diarrhea for days that looked like chocolate syrup or something. I don't know why it affects them the way it does, but it's bad stuff. The poor thing almost died.Other foods that are bad for dogs are grapes, which are fine in very small amounts, but in larger amounts can cause kidney failure, and onions.

Every holiday season, veterinarians find an increase in accidental chocolate poisoning in our canine companions. Many people are still unaware of the danger chocolate poses for their furry friend even though it is the most commonly encountered poisoning (based on an evaluation of the reason for calls to the National Animal Poison Control Center). The naturally occurring theobromine found in chocolate, cocoa beans, cocoa bean hulls, cola, and tea, is responsible for the poisoning effect in dogs. Dogs are unable to metabolize this element quickly enough to prevent poisoning. The lethal dose of this agent is determined by weight and falls roughly into the category of 250-500 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This equates to approximately 2/3 to 1 1/3 oz bakers chocolate for every 2.2 pounds though signs of poisoning begin to appear at a much lower ingestion levels
