Although chocolate can't kill puppies in an instant, owners still feed their dogs less chocolate. Let's see why dogs can't eat chocolate. Welcome to check it out!
Why can't dogs eat chocolate
Dogs have a lot of taboos on food. After eating a lot of food, dogs will do great harm to their bodies, which can lead to poisoning and even death. Especially chocolate, so many "excrement shovelers" who like to eat "chocolate" will steal it behind their dog's back
So since the harm of "chocolate" dogs after eating by mistake is so great, what should be done once the dog eats "chocolate" due to the owner's carelessness.
"Why can't dogs eat chocolate?" once dogs eat "chocolate" by mistake, they will have several obvious characteristics. One is that they will be "extremely thirsty", and they will keep drinking water, which will be much larger than their usual; Second, they will "diarrhea". There are many reasons for dog "diarrhea", and eating "chocolate" by mistake is also one of them. They will continue to loose; The second is "excess energy". Generally speaking, dogs with "diarrhea" will be "weak", but dogs who eat "chocolate" by mistake are very active; The third is "panting". After eating "chocolate" by mistake, they will continue to "pant", which is like ending a "fierce battle". Finally, epilepsy.
What should I do if I find my dog eating chocolate by mistake? The most important thing is to "induce vomiting" as soon as possible. Only when they spit out the "chocolate" can they be dealt with next. If they don't vomit all the time, they should quickly contact the "veterinarian" to see if there is any way to help them "induce vomiting" in a short time. If they vomit, remember not to feed them first, even water, because the intestines and stomach of the dog who has just vomited may not recover. They need some time to recover.
The consequences of dogs eating "chocolate" by mistake are very serious, because "chocolate" is made of "chocolate beans", and "chocolate beans" contain a large amount of "theobromine", which will affect the dog's "central nervous system and myocardium", resulting in their inability to metabolize them, which will lead to dog poisoning. In addition, "methylxanthine" in "chocolate" can lead to a dog's "heart beat faster". In this way, the dog is very dangerous. So that's why "why dogs can't eat chocolate".
Why can't dogs eat chocolate
1、 Why can't dogs eat chocolate?
First, let's see what's in the chocolate? Why can't our dog eat?
Chocolate is processed from cocoa beans and contains a variety of methyl xanthine derivatives, including caffeine and theobromine. Theobromine in chocolate will act on the central nervous system and myocardium of dogs, thus poisoning dogs. Both humans and cats can metabolize theobromine, but dogs' digestive system does not. Methylxanthine can stimulate the dog's central nervous system and make its heart rate rise sharply, resulting in a variety of poisoning symptoms.
2、 How much chocolate does a dog eat can lead to poisoning or even death?
Methyl xanthine contained in chocolate is also the main component of theobromine and caffeine, which is the source of chocolate's danger. For theobromine and caffeine, the minimum lethal dose for dogs is 100-200mg / kg.
In other words, a kilogram dog may die if he eats 9 grams of pure chocolate.
This is what happened when the doctor was a graduate student: a classmate raised a big golden hair and put it at the door of the teaching and research office one day. I saw it a little strange when I passed by. How can you shed a lot of saliva? Then walk up, sway left and right, and trot back and forth without purpose. I asked several students and younger martial sisters in the teaching and research room if they knew what happened to the dog? The answer is that there was a younger martial sister who didn't know that the dog couldn't eat chocolate, and then gave it a small piece of dove... Fortunately, it was a big golden hair
Listen to the doctor:
In fact, the real case of death from chocolate poisoning has not been seen. Because if you die from chocolate poisoning, you won't see a doctor in the pet hospital, and we can't see it. Because chocolate poisoning is neurological, and the onset time of chocolate poisoning is very fast, less than an hour from eating to onset. If it is really over dose poisoning, it is estimated that it is difficult to rescue it. I hung up before I went to the pet hospital.
For large dogs, if you eat a little chocolate by mistake, it may not be very dangerous. However, after eating chocolate by mistake, they will also have vomiting and diarrhea. This may be a reaction of the intestinal tract to neurotoxicity. Some dogs may run wildly or have muscle convulsions, which is dangerous and very likely to cause fatal injury.
In fact, any toxin is poisoned in a certain dose. Of course, the toxic dose of some toxins is very low. Similarly, large dogs weigh more and eat more chocolate than small dogs.
In addition, in fact, the purity of chocolate in many chocolate products on the market is not very high, so it does not cause great danger. But it is dangerous to eat chocolate with high purity such as dark chocolate.
Nevertheless, I hope it can arouse the vigilance of all pet owners!

Chocolate is processed from cocoa beans and contains a variety of methyl xanthine derivatives. These substances will bind to some receptors on the cell surface, thus preventing natural substances in animals from binding to receptors.
Theobromine and theobromine derivatives are abundant, while theobromine and theobromine derivatives are abundant. Therefore, eating chocolate for dogs is very harmful.
Theobromine in chocolate reduces the blood flow to the brain, which can cause heart disease and other fatal problems. Moreover, the higher the purity of chocolate, the higher the content, and the greater the risk to dogs.
