Chocolate is toxic for dogs. That means it is a poison for dogs. I have heard of owners that feed there dogs chocolate and the dog still gets 15 years old, but personally I think it's not worth the risk to try if your dog gets sick from it or not.

It's true that chocolate is toxic for dogs ... also onions are deadly for dogs if they eat enough of it.

dogs kidneys and liver cann't break down certain food that people can onions are posinous but a small amount would not kill but better to not feed any toxic food I mean would you eat alittle poison just because that amount would not kill you? I cann't paste but do a search on whats toxic to pets some foods would surprice you .
