In Hair Hunter wondered who ate all the chocolates but isn chocolate toxic to dogs?
Well, I’m not a vet so I’m not really sure but we give our dog chocolate bars every so often and he has yet to get sick from it. Then on the other paw maybe only certain breeds of dogs get affected so I’m not really sure. Anyway, you have to remember that the Rovers aren’t ordinary dogs. They are part human, part dog. So if there was a part on the dog side that was toxic to chocolates perhaps that was replaced by the human side. So that instead of getting sick they get fat like real humans and have to go on diets. But as far as the real world: I remembered a vet’s warning about it, and found an article on the Net. Theobromine is the main psychoactive drug in chocolate. There is very little caffeine. Unlike people, dogs cannot metabolize theobromine easily, it remains in their system over a VERY long time (on the order of MONTHS!) cycling between the liver and the bloodstream, so a chocolate a day is like slow poison.
