Is normal chocolate bad for dogs?

  • My friend says that it is poisonous!


  • Funny you should ask that question. I have a 14 month old lab. Brought chocolate fudge home yesterday. (Christmas gift) Left for 45 mins came back, fudge gone.
    With his size (91 lbs) it wasn't a huge concern. He also said common chocolate is not as lethal as people think. They are more concerned if a dog consumes bakers chocolate. It is more concentrated. Riley was on a major buzz for about ten hours, but is fine. But with any chocolate consumption always check with your vet!!


  • Yeah i saw in Corination Street, that it killed one


  • Yes, chocolate is bad for dogs. The ingredient in chocolate, theobromine, is what is lethal to dogs. Just like people, when a dog tastes chocolate, it leads him/her to want more. Now, one little spec of chocolate won't kill your dog but the limit that one dog might have is going to be different than the next dog. So, just to be on the safe side, don't give your dog any chocolate at all!


  • Yes, very much so.


  • people say that it is supposed to poisen there stomachs,i think its dangerous for labradors but in small quantities its ok for other dogs.I have a jack russel and i often give him chocolate not big amounts but he is ok.


  • Yeah it is, it can kill them, it was on the radio yesterday
