Can dogs eat chocolate?

🍫 Toxic — never feed

Contains theobromine, which dogs can't metabolise — it can cause vomiting, tremors, seizures and can be fatal. Darker chocolate is more dangerous.

If eaten: If your dog has eaten chocolate, call your vet or a pet poison line right away with the type and amount.

The bottom line

Do not feed chocolate to your dog — it is toxic and even small amounts can be dangerous. When in doubt, call your vet or a pet poison helpline.

For your dog's main diet, what matters most is the food itself. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades.
