We might come into contact with animals in either urban or rural settings, during travel, while visiting animal exhibits, or while enjoying outdoor activities.

For many dogs, the most common signs of chocolate poisoning is vomiting and diarrhea, increased thirst, panting or restlessness, excessive urination, a racing heart rate, muscle spasms (tremors), and occasionally seizures. Older pets that ingest a large amount of high quality dark or baking chocolate can result in sudden death from cardiac arrest, especially for dogs with preexisting heart disease.
