Dogs should never be fed with any type of chocolate. Keep chocolates out of your pet dog’s reach. If they happen to consume any chocolate, you have to attempt to remove the chocolate before they completely devour it. Check if foil or chocolate wrapper got stuck in your pet dog’s mouth. It is imperative to investigate the amount of chocolate your dog managed to eat by checking the remaining chocolate from where it was taken. You can make an assumption or estimate the amount of chocolate they might have gobbled up. After figuring out just how much chocolate your dog ate, you have to identify what type of chocolate it was. Dark chocolate variants are more harmful than those that are not. Darker ones have a more bitter taste and have a higher level of toxicity for dogs. Theobromine, a methylxanthine, is the active component found in chocolate which causes harmful effects in dogs. Dark chocolate has a higher concentration of methylxanthine than light-colored ones such as white and milk chocolate.
