dogs and chocolate

[gkristian]

Foxy has never eaten chocolate

I read on a web site that the caffeine in chocolate is the ingredient that can harm and even kill a dog, and it recommended strongly that choclate never be given to a dog. They cannot handle the caffeine.

I heard that too..but then I read something about...umm I don't how to spell it lol it's "TH..." something something something lol...I really have to watch what I give Kai because I feed him alot of fresh food...I say fresh instead of human...because fruits, veggies, meat aren't restricted to humans... I don't give him junk food though. Just the good stuff, apples, a bit of my sandwich lol, lettuce, orange, banana...that kinda stuff...

I don't feed my dogs chocolate because of all the bad things I read about it. But, on the same line, growing up we were totally uneducated about dogs and feeding. We always fed our family dogs everything from chocolate to chicken bones and they all survived.

We used to own a Deli for a number of years, and this lady came in every afternoon and bought 2 Freddo's. I did not take any notice, until one day she came in upset. She was the owner of a little Silkie and a Collie. The Silkie died and the Collie was in a serious condition at the vets. She told me that the Vet said it was caused through the massive amounts of chocolate she fed them.
I always felt bad for selling her those Freddo's every day for years.

Kiki easts chocolate. It never harmed him. I think that whoever had him bore I got him, must have feed him junk food. Kiki will eat anything. He's even had Sour Ptch kids before! And, just the other night, my mom got up to see why my sis had called her, an she forgot that she had left a plate of cookies on the table(choco, vanilla, and choco cip). Kiki had gone in, ate half a choco chip, and a while vanilla one. He's eaten brownies, chocolate chips. He likes grapes(I know they say they can harm them, so he doesn't get them often). I'll put a pic of him as an attachment so you can see him.

Well the family had to ush the dog to the vet and have his stomach pumped! I felt so bad for the pup

[janiceruth]

my ignorance, and I never let my dogs have chocolate, but is it really that lethal? What organ does it hit in a dog?




Where are the instruction on putting an image into your text?
I would appreciate the help..

[Mich]

Don't feel so bad, as I was a woman with a family and I didn't know the lady was buying the choc for the dog.......I know if you had the knowledge,you would have done something....please don't feel bad.
