Though chocolate is a tasty treat for humans, for dogs it is poisonous. Chocolate’s toxic component is theobromine. Dogs process theobromine very slowly, which allows for it to build up in their system to toxic levels. Different types of chocolate have different amounts of theobromine, but chocolate should always be out of reach of dogs.

Thanks Tina, knowing how bad it is for our furry friends makes it easier to resist those begging eyes when I'm trying to sneak some. My furry friend can hear the opening of a chocolate bar two rooms away.
