Chocolate and Dogs
There are two chemicals in chocolate that are toxic to dogs: caffeine and theobromine. Dogs are not able to digest these chemicals like humans. If left untreated, the toxins can lead to excessive heart rates, seizures, and potential death.
Caffeine and theobromine are absorbed in the stomach, so a fast response is needed to prevent harm to your dog.

Our dog always gets into something
Our mischievous corgi, McFly, seems to always be getting into something. When it's chocolate we panic. The nearest emergency vet is almost an hour away.
Get it.
I'm someone who dropped $3,000 on vet bills after a dog ingested something it shouldn't.
