The cutest! With an important message ๐งก
Chocolate contains a chemical compound called theobromine. Theobromine is toxic to dogs and other animals.
The symptoms of theobromine ingestion may include restlessness, excitement, hyperactivity, nervousness, trembling, vomiting, diarrhoea, increased drinking and increased urination, increased heart rate, muscle tremors, seizures and possibly death.
If your dog or other animal has ingested chocolate (even a small amount) you should contact your local veterinarian as soon as possible for advice. Veterinarians can usually treat chocolate poisoning successfully, but it is important to seek veterinary attention quickly to give your animal the best possible chance of recovery.
