. Chocolate
While chocolate is a treat for us humans, and probably also for our canine friends, not a good idea that you give your dog chocolate.
Chocolate contains a substance toxic to dogs, called Theobromine. Theobromine is an alkaloid obtained from the cocoa plant that stimulates the central nervous system, causes bronchodilation and has various cardiovascular effects.
Dogs can not easily eliminate theobromine and thus, it becomes a toxic agent for them. It is estimated that as little as six grams per kilo of weight of the dog can be lethal.
Of greater concern is the black chocolate because it contains 10 times more theobromine than milk chocolate.
Canine signs of chocolate poisoning include: increased general activity, diarrhea, vomiting, urinary incontinence, increased heart rate, increased respiratory rate, tremors and spasms.
So, no chocolate for your dog!
