Can Dogs Eat Chocolate?
Verdict
Toxic — do not feed
All chocolate is toxic. Dark and baking chocolate are worst.
Why it is toxic
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine. Dogs metabolise theobromine slowly, causing dangerous accumulation.
Symptoms to watch for
Vomiting, diarrhoea, restlessness, rapid heart rate, seizures. Call your vet immediately.
Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. This page is editorial guidance, not emergency advice for an individual animal.
