Why chocolate is bad for dogs
Chocolate contains substances known as methylxanthines, specifically caffeine and theobromine which are toxic to dogs. Dogs take longer to break down theobromine and depending on your dog’s weight, even small amounts of chocolate can be dangerous.
The darker and bitter the chocolate, the more dangerous it is to dogs.
There are many types of chocolate and they all have different levels of theobromine in them.
