I could be wrong, but I remember reading something about chocolate & dogs.

The ingredient that is toxic to them is stored in the liver. So a dog can eat chocolate many times & be fine, but each dog's liver can only handle so much toxins before it kills them. So feeding chocolate on a regular bases is so deadly. you never know when the dogs body wont be able to handle anymore toxins before failing.

& maybe (going out on a limb here) that last bite of chocolate sets the liver off & becuase the dogs heart is racing, it kills them...


I know with my turtle I have to be careful not to over feed him & to make sure he doesn't eat processed foods. Becuase all the chemicles collect in the liver & then they die young. Or if you over feed, the liver works TOO hard & just dies, so the turtle dies. <- This is why I believe the Dogs liver failing, as it makes total sence.
