Why chocolate is bad for dogs

 What it does

 Your dog is whining, has the look on, and wags his
 tail.First thing you think,HE WANTS CHOCOLATE.
Don't even think about grabbing that chocolate bar. It 
 could kill him! Most people know this but what they 
don't know is what hurts your dog. Cocoa (coh-cow)
beans contain theobromine, a natural occurring 
simulant .


 Theobromine can cause more urination (peeing), 
  and messes with the central nervous system and     
  the heart muscle.  
How to know
  After couple hours your dog will start to puke, have
  diarrhea, or hyperactivity. Later, your dog will    
  have an increased heart rate, and that will cause   
  arrhythmia, restlessness, hyperactivity, muscle twitches,
  increased urination or excessive panting. And all this stuff can lead to hypothermia, muscle tremors,
  seizures, coma and the most brutal of them all, death.  
The least and most deadly
 
                ~   The least deadly chocolate is white chocolate with 1 mg of theobromine per ounce   ~
            ~   The most deadly chocolate is baking chocolate with 450 mg  of theobromine per ounce   ~


Overall, Never Give Your Dog Chocolate!
