Have you ever been terrified of finding your dog munching on an Easter egg or chocolate treat during the holidays? It’s the kind of thing that can turn a wonderful occasion into a potential disaster. Of course chocolate is a delightful treat for us humans, but it can be extremely harmful to your furry friend, and even fatal in extreme cases.
They don’t process the components of cocoa like we do, especially theobromine and, to a lesser extent, caffeine. Those two substances stimulate your pet's central nervous system and heart muscles. The immediate effects include relaxed respiratory tract muscles and increased urine production. To put it simpler, a dose of chocolate can cause digestive, nervous, and cardiac issues of varying degrees of severity.
Why is chocolate dangerous to dogs then? When should I be concerned? Is chocolate only dangerous for dogs? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
