Do you know – Chocolate can kill dogs

Posted by Vikas Acharya on January 23, 2026

Why it’s toxic:
Chocolate contains theobromine (and caffeine). Dogs can’t break these down the way humans can, so the toxins build up in their system.

How dangerous it is depends on:

• 🍫 Type of chocolate
  • Most dangerous: baking chocolate, dark chocolate, cocoa powder
  • Less dangerous (but still risky): milk chocolate
  • White chocolate: very little theobromine, but still unhealthy
• 🐕 Dog’s size (small dogs are at much higher risk)
• ⏱️ Amount eaten

Possible symptoms (can start within hours):

• Vomiting, diarrhea
• Restlessness, hyperactivity
• Rapid heart rate
• Tremors or seizures
• In severe cases: heart failure or death

What to do if a dog eats chocolate:

• Don’t wait for symptoms
• Call your vet or an emergency animal clinic immediately
• You can also contact Pet Poison Helpline or ASPCA Animal Poison Control
