Chocolate Dogs Myth
Dogs can not eat chocolate?
I grew up always knowing this, but is it true or a myth? Is it true they can not digest
? If so, Why not? Are there any other food on the table that really should not be given to dogs? I know I should not eat table food anyway, but there are other foods which are specifically harmful?
Yes, indeed. However, there is a formula that the quantity is extremely damaging. 1 pound milk chocolate to 5 pounds of dog or 1 / 2 pound of black chocolate to 5 pounds of dog is an emergency. Dogs of the liver can not filter the chocolate and caffeine is toxic at levels too. Therefore, if your dog eats a piece of chocolate as a kiss or something small, do not worry. Other foods to stay away are the avocados, plums, and bones peach.
These can cause intestinal discomfort and distress. You should also look up what plants are poisonous.
