is chocalate bad for dogs?

I have heard that the unsweetened, dark, baking chocolate is bad for dogs.

YES< YES can cause heart diesease!!

If youve given it a little bit it will be ok, its better to not get them started on it, because lots of it can give it worms and kill it, im not sure what it is with chocolate, but they do make doggy treats in flavors like that, The safest way to go,....

yes it can kill any dog any size so can tomatoes , grapes and onions

YES!! Chocolate is the worst thing that you can give a dog!! casues heart worms, and will kill them n nothing flat!

it depends on what kind of dog it is. i have fed my dog a whole chocolate cake before. hes still alive and in good health. but i wouldnt take the chance.

Yes, very, very, bad.

Yes it is bad see the previous answers, but heartworms? Do some research. Heartworms are introduced into the bloodstream when dogs are bitten by mosquitoes, not when chocolate is ingested.

ToTally Bad... Chocolates are bad for them since it has too many chemicals in them...as in tooo much....

it is deadly to aany animal

Chocolate is a poison

It all depends on your dog. I had a dog that got into my stash and ate like half a bag of M&Ms. One of the big one pound bags not the vending machine size. Its not that its poisonus its an allergy. In the case with my dog he was not allergic and he was perfectly fine. It all depends on the dog and how allergic they are.

HOW MANY TIMES ARE PEOPLE GOING TO ASK THIS!!!Search the site to see if it's been answered already!Not necessarily.Chocolate is toxic to all mammals (humans are mammals too.)Theobromine is the toxin that presents a danger in certain quantities depending on the species and the size of the animal (yes humans are animals too.)A small amount of chocolate isn't a problem but the dog shouldn't raid the easter basket or eat through your stash in one sitting, but neither should you. This is probably the most asked question here!!!
