they consume chocolate? my little dog i dont think ate the chocolate chip cookie but he did lick on it before he had a chance to eat it,...( i dont know how he even got to the cookie in the first place),..anyways i have heard that dogs can die if they eat chocolate,...is this true?? because im worried

 

they would have to eat a lot of chocolate, like a whole hersey bar, or snickers.. and most of the time it just makes them really sick for a few days

 

isn't this a repost.........

 

i dont give a fuck if it is a repost,..im still worried about my dog


thanks for the reply SGC,..anyone else with any input?

 

He'll be fine. Simply licking chocolate is negligable. A dog that size would have to consume 5 or 6 pounds of chocolate to be life-threatening (2.25-2.75 kilos). Chocolate contains theobromine. It causes their hearts to race and they eventually go into a coma and possibly die. Vomiting is a symptom, but the dog should be fine. That's not much chocolate at all.

 

as long as its a lick of chocolate its okay, but consuming a large portion of a chocolate bar will make a dog sick.

 

i was told that large amounts of chocolate would give a dog cancer :dunno: but you can call a vet to make sure what to do.

 

5 to 6 pounds of chocolate?? i dont think he can consume that much,..he only ways 5 pounds 2 ounces :chuckles:



thanks for the replies guys :thumbup:

 

It's a poison. Theobromine (C7H8N4O2) is very close to caffein. If you were to eat that much chocolate you'd probably get sick just as well. Of course, with any stimulant it you're going to be bouncing off of the walls and such. It's also diuretic. Meaning, it makes you piss. The dog should be fine.

 

i think your dog should be okay! keep an eye on him/she though. sorry to hear that though..dont stress it...
