Eating chocolate can be very dangerous to dogs. Large amounts can cause damage to the heart and brain, possibly even death. If your dog ingests chocolate, speak to a vet immediately for further advice.
Dogs tend to find chocolate as irresistible as most people, which unfortunately makes chocolate intoxication one of the most common forms of accidental poisoning in dogs. The severity of the problem depends on the size of the dog, the amount of chocolate eaten, and the percentage of cocoa solids in it. If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, try to stay calm and speak to a vet as soon as possible. It can be very helpful if you have any package or recipe information at hand.
