Did you know that if you feed your dog chocolate it could die quickly or will shorten its life span. Chocolate messes up the dog's digestive system causing it to die. I learned this from my friend because his dog just died because of it. So remember this and help your dog live longer.

THat is not true, i am a vetrinanry technician, in actuallity a toxic level for a do is about 1oz per pound, therefore it would be toxic for a 60pound dog only if it ate 60 ounces of chocolate. the cacoa in chocolate is toxic. in the case your dog ingests a large amount of chocolate bring him to the nearest vet. 9 out of 10 tiimes your dog will be fine wiht a bout of diarhhea

Yes I have heard this for years and have never given my dogs any chocolate. They do make chocolates for dogs. You can get them at pet stores. I don't think it has the real chocolate in it though.
