1. Never, ever feed your dog chocolate. Most people know this, but they may not know why. A chemical in chocolate called methylxanthine can stop a dog’s metabolism, so don’t let your pooch near this sweet treat.
Some people may tell you that the fears over dogs and chocolate are overblown, and this is partially true. It’s not as much of an instant kill as it is frequently made out to be, but that does not mean your pup should go anywhere near it. Chocolate in small doses probably won’t harm your pooch, but as most dog owners know, dogs tend to vacuum up everything in sight.
That means they could be at risk of eating too much, which will lead to serious issues. Better to keep it far away from your dog either way, just to be safe.
