Why can’t dogs eat chocolate? It seriously affects physical and mental health!

People owners who raise dogs should all understand that chocolate is an absolutely taboo ingredient for dogs, because after eating chocolate, dogs will experience a series of poisoning symptoms, and in severe cases, it will seriously endanger their lives. Even if you like chocolate, you must hide it tightly to prevent dogs from eating greedy and stealing.

Chocolate is so harmful to dogs. The key is that it is made of cocoa fruit. The ingredients are rich in hydroxyxanthine and cocoa alkali. This substance can stimulate the dog's central system, causing the dog's heart to beat sharply, causing symptoms of poisoning and seriously threatening physical and mental health.

The chocolates sold on the market currently have the largest hydroxyxanthine and cocoa alkali ingredients, and the least white chocolate. The symptoms caused by dogs accidentally eating white chocolate will be relatively mild, but if they eat dark chocolate, it will be very dangerous.

When a dog accidentally eats chocolate, its physiology and emotions will become more and more abnormal. Dogs will become very anxious, have extremely dry mouth, drink many times more water than usual, and have increased urine; when the symptoms are severe, the dog will also experience symptoms such as diarrhea, asthma, epilepsy and body temperature rise. Once the dog is found to have such symptoms, the pet owner must immediately send it to the doctor for treatment.
