    No to chocolates, doggies. Thank you for sharing this lens so people will be aware about how important it is not to feed their dogs chocolate.

    Well done., really useful lens. It's surprising how many people don't know that feeding chocolate to their dog is a bad move.

    Pumpkin dog biscuits are a great idea. And a good tip to watch your dog at gatherings. But my dog will be searching for mashed potato... Interesting lens and justifies my keeping all the chocolate for myself, despite the begging routine!

    Great lens, I never knew that , we have had a dog eat a box of chocolates from under the Christmas tree, but it was okay. But I will remember this lens next time I see a dog and chocolates. Maybe that's why I cannot eat chocolates without getting a upset stomach and headache. Blessed.

    OMG..My dog ate some chocolate when she was a puppy. She got into some M&Ms and got so sick, she almost died. It was awful. I brought her to the vet and he tried to tell me she had Parvo..but I knew it was the chocolate..She couldnt keep anything down but I gave her Pedialyte..(advised the the vet's assistant) and could only get her to eat boiled chicken.Luckily, she pulled through, but I definitely have gone way out of my way to make sure none of my dogs ever eat chocolate again. Great info here!

    This is a very important message. Not every dog owner realises that chocolate is toxic to their pet. I have heard that chewing gum is also dangerous to dogs.

    Great information! I've known a few dogs that got into chocolate and were okay (no apparent symptoms, so said their owners), but I never, ever let my dog near it. I once JUST caught a friend about to give our dog chocolate syrup, and I think I scared her when I shouted, "No!" But better than my dog's tongue and that chocolate coming in contact. Then I explained why I shouted to my friend, who, even at nearly 40 years old, had never heard that chocolate and dogs don't mix.

  • triathlontraining Nov 9, 2009 @ 11:31 am | in reply to Swededesigns | delete
    Another possibility is that much of the chocolate had minimal amounts of actual cocoa. Maybe it was more artificial than anything. Also, perhaps the dog's size was a factor. Who knows?
  • Swededesigns Oct 17, 2009 @ 3:17 pm | delete
    I'm going to come right out and say this. I had a dog for 15 years that was a choco-holic! She would grab any chocolate she could get and I NEVER saw her look or act ill from it. In fact, every vet visit came back clean as a whistle. So, what I am thinking is that possibly, now I'm not saying for sure because I have no clue, but maybe it's worse on certain breeds of dogs? Or maybe if they eat nothing but dog food and THEn have chocolate, because ours ate a lot of table foods...not bones mind you, but hamburger, steak, pork...that sort of thing. Because surely if chocolate was THAT poisonous to dogs, she wouldn't have lived past her second year. She was the happiest, healthiest dog I have ever had. Back when I first got her as a pup many years ago, there wasn't anything bad written about dogs eating chocolate. Or maybe it's just that now with the internet being so big and most homes having computers, the word is getting out more, I don't know.
  • KonaGirl Jun 11, 2009 @ 12:56 pm | in reply to jackinabox | delete
    This is so true. Some large dogs don't seem to be bothered by chocolate right away, and then the owners wonder what cause their medical problems further down the road when the internal organs have been damage. Ya think it could have been something they ate?

    Have seen people wanting to distract their dogs from unwanted behaviour by offering them a piece of chocolate. Even though they may know that chocolate can be dangerous to the health of their dog they still proceed to feed the dog chocolate.

    While it may not hurt the dog this time.. You never know if this is the one time it is not going to be okay.

    so, it is really true that chocolates is really bad for the dog and I'm thankful this lens of yours have proven to me that it is so. A friend once told me about this but I never believe it at first but now I'm convinced. Thanks for the tip! hope to read some more of your lenses. You do love dogs, don't you? I love them, too! Matter of fact, I'm really obsessed with them that I put some of my dog's pictures on my personal checks. You can get more idea about this when you click here ...You'll surely love what you will see. 5 stars for your wonderful lens!

    Wow, what an informative lens on this topic. It is interesting how many types of foods we eat are actually harmful to dogs like grapes. It makes you want to examine more fully every aspect of your dogs overall health, and be more careful in what you give them to eat. Good job!

    Yes, you can get dog chocolate that is safe for dogs. Carob is also a product that taste like chocolate and is safe for dogs to eat. The only problem is that a dog doesn't know the difference. The products smell like chocolate. Your dog gets the taste for it, he will be tempted to eat the real thing
