Can dogs eat chocolete

Well,the product that is actually toxic isTheobromine and dogs metabolize it a lot slower than humans do. And it depends on the SIZE of the dog to the AMOUNT and KIND of chocolate it eats.

To put it in perspective, a 20-pound dog would have to eat 1.8oz. of baking chocolate, 5.3oz. of dark chocolate, or 11.2 oz. of milk chocolate for it to actually be considered toxic. A 50-pound dog would have to eat 4.5oz. of baking, 12.8oz. of dark or 2.4lbs of milk chocolate for it to be toxic.

Toxcity signs that occur usually within around 12 hours of poisoning include: vomiting, diarrhea, tembling, excitement, nervousness, increased urination, muscle spasms, and seizures.

So, yes, your dog can eat that hershey kiss (.16oz) that fell on the floor and you don't have to freak out. But, I still wouldn't recommend giving your dog a piece of your chocolate bar every day regardless. :)
