Hey friend, never give chocolate to your dog. But why can’t dogs eat chocolate? The reason is simple. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine. Humans can digest them. Dogs cannot.
So, what happens if they eat it? First, they may vomit or get diarrhea. Then restlessness, fast heartbeat, and even breathing problems can follow. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
Now, you might ask, does a small piece really harm? Yes, especially dark chocolate. It has higher levels of theobromine. The smaller the dog, the bigger the risk.
So, what should you do? Keep chocolate far away. If your dog eats some by accident, don’t wait. Call a vet immediately.
