I still see people giving their dogs bars of chocolate and often when I tell them what could happen they smile and look at me as if I'm mad. I'd hate their education to come through hard experience. Terry Thanks June,

Listed below are chocolate types containing theobromine.

This list starts with the type of chocolate that has the largest quantity and moves down to the type of chocolate with the least amount.

Cocoa Beans
Baking Chocolate
Cocoa Powder
Dark Chocolate
Chocolate Cocktail Mixes
Chocolate Syrup
Milk Chocolate
Lite Chocolate Syrup
Chocolate Milk Mixes
White Chocolate

Most larger dogs will not be affected adversely by ingesting a small amount of milk chocolate, but because dogs can become addicted to the taste of chocolate as easily as humans, it is best not to give them any at all, intentionally.

I have seen people feed their dogs carob bars, which is not harmful to a dogs system; however, keep in mind that a dog doesn’t know the difference between carob and chocolate. When a dog smells that cocoa flavor, they will want it and go for it, which could be fatal in a smaller animal.

It is very important to keep dogs lovers informed about the damages chocolate can cause on our four legged friend.
