If eaten, how much chocolate will cause problems to my dog and what type of chocolate is particular problem?
Dogs can tolerate ingesting chocolate but the amount depends upon their size. Dark chocolate and rich Belgian chocolate along with cocoa powders are the most toxic to dogs. It is the theobromine content that is important as that is the ingredient that is toxic. Cocoa shells have also been recently retailed to use as garden mulch and this is also toxic to dogs.
