Before our family came to the United States, we always shared our chocolate with our dogs, and nothing bad ever seemed to happen to them.<br /><br />Later, when I heard that chocolate was poisonous for dogs -- and we only heard it in the US after I was almost grown-- I stopped sharing chocolate with dogs. But I can't help but wonder if it's the quantity of chocolate that Americans regularly eat that is really the problem.<br /><br />There is no doubt that chocolate can be poisonous for dogs -- and for humans -- if you eat too much of it. It can cause heart failure. But if you only eat about one or two squares of chocolate a day, then there is no danger of that to you -- or to a normal sized dog. I don't know about miniatures. I imagine they would be especially susceptible.<br /><br />Everything is poisonous in the right dosage -- even water. So the real question is: how much is too much?

They also say you cannot feed a dog chocolate, but one of our dogs would eat it any time we turned around. Not mass quantities, but he turned out alright. He lived to be 12.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
