chocolate dog

[nivek]

why shouldn't I feed my dog chocolate?

 

[HappyScrappy]

IIRC it is the theobromine

Some dogs are allergic to milk or products made from milk. Mine is one of those dogs! Gives new meaning to the term "Hershey Squirts".

I thought the sugar in it makes them blind or someshit.

 

[satanic goatslayer]

Because dogs prefer antifreeze.

Chocolate is toxic to dogs.

 

[tee]

What Starfish said...feeding them chocolate can kill them.

 

[HappyScrappy]

uh, right - like I said - theobromine in the chocolate. that is what is toxic to dogs - they can't process it. I don't think cats or many other smaller animals can.

My dog ate a whole bag of m&m's and nothing happened.

Ever seen a dog eat a jar of vaseline? I'll tell you when that shit comes out, it is not a pretty sight.

my friend had a big golden retreiver that would eat anything.
we walked in on him eating an entire tray of brownies - he was fine.

from what I've heard it matters about the amount they eat relative to their weight.

as for vaseline, I stopped eating that stuff last week.

My little dogs don't even like chocolate, Molly would probably guard it, just so the other one wouldn't get it, but she wouldn't eat it.
