dogs and chocolate

[puppygrrl4eva7]

has your dog ever eaten any kind of chocolate?

once my dad fed my old dog, Jessie, an oreo on accident but she was a big lab so she didn't get sick and this morning I dropped a coco pop on the floor and Ringo ate it before i could stop him but it was only 1piece

Mick's never eaten chocolate (I'm pretty sure anyways). Number one, because we all know it isn't good for dogs and secondly because my sister wants to make sure we don't drop any and follows us around with the vacuum in her hand.

I'm paranoid...I made a rule that there is to be NO chocolate in the house. And if my bro or sister really need chocolate, they have to eat it outside. Being a smaller dog, less would kill him ...I think? Even though we usually only eat milk chocolate, I just don't wanna take chances. Plus, I don't even like chocolate. I'm a strawberry person lol.

Oreos don't actually contain real chocolate, only chocolate flavouring, so they aren't dangerous.

My dog Leather ate an ENTIRE McCain chocolate cake, we didn't even get a bite, but it was a cake, and cakes don't contain real chocolate either, so she didn't even get sick..

I've given Timber small pieces of white chocolate, and I've rubbed real chocolate on my hand so it tastes and smells like it, but it's not there...

I don't make it a habit though, if they get a taste for it, they'll like it forever. I've read some interesting reports on the internet that say dogs generally don't even like that taste of chocolate once they are old enough to decide what they do or do not like. It's usually when they are puppies that they develop a liking for it and never stop liking it

Once at Christmas time (many many years ago), our two dogs and my aunt's dogs got under the Christmas tree and found any and all the boxes of Chocolate. They were all wrapped, and were so far under the tree they were touching the trunk, but the dogs dug until they found them all. They ate, between the four of them, two or three big boxes of Turtles candy and a bucket of mini turtles. They didn't get in trouble.. we should have picked up the candy but we thought it was safe. Thankfully, none of them got sick. They did poop tin foil wrappers for a couple days though

Funny, My roomates girlfreind made me a birthday cake on Thursday, and needless to say..i wasn't paying attention and went into the kitchen and there was a piece missing. And Max didn't even sing happy birthday to me.

My dog eats chocolat, Not alot, But when so accidently. It doesnt hurt a dog unless its Cooking Chocolat, And even if your dog does eat Cooking Chocolat, It has to be alot for him to be sick.

No way!!!
I realize that a little won't harm them probably, but why take the chance???

I think that it's not JUST cooking chocolate that can kill your dog. I think milk chocolate can but it would take alot more than cooking chocolate because it is loaded with other stuff too. As for cooking chocolate, it doesn't take alot. It really depends on your dog. Anyways..why feed your dog extra sugar? I definately do not want a hyper kai..

My grandmother gives her dog chocolates as treats and shes only a small poodle mix..I have NO idea why she does, but the dog is totally fine with it..like shes old now and she's been getting it for who knows how long..
