Chocolate can be fatal to cats and dogs, for them chocolate is toxic. The theobromine in chocolate is what causes them harm, they can easily be poisoned. The first signs of theobromine poisoning are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and increased urination. These can progress to, epeleptic seizures, internal bleeding, heart attacks, and eventually death.

Yes, chocolate is poisonous to cats and dogs. Some people say it isn't, but if they are feeding their cat/dog chocolate, they are actually slowly poisoning it. If you don't believe me, TALK TO YOUR VET.

Yes. Chocolate has an ingredient called theobromine. It can be toxic to a dog, resulting in convulsions and even death.

The amount of chocolate that is toxic to a dog is based on the type of chocolate (Milk Chocolate, semi-sweet or Baking Chocolate) and the dog's weight. Here is a rough estimate for each type:

1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate

1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate

1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate.

Symptoms of overdose range from lethargy to death. Do not feed chocolate to a dog! Yes, the types of chocolates which humans eat contain a substance called Theobromine, which is poinonous to dogs. That is why there are special "dog chocolates,," which do not contain any Theobromine, available from pet stores and supermarkets.

Yes, because cats don't normally eat chocolate.

Like dogs, cats lack the enzymes needed to quickly break down theobromine, a toxic component of chocolate.
