Theobromine is poisonous to dogs, it’s just that many kinds of “chocolate” contain so little cocoa. The US only requires 10% cocoa mass to be called “milk chocolate”, whereas the EU requires at least 35%.
all true, and if they get enough, it will be fatal.
still it’s rarely actually fatal. doesn’t mean you should feed your dogs chocolate, by any means. But if they steal some off the counter (what Mooky did.) they’re in for a bad night or a few bad nights, even. but statistically… not gonna kill them.
Mooky was too much of a trouble maker to die from a pound of truffles, though. He lived to a ripe old age terrorizing my mom and the vet alike.
