"Unfortunately for dogs chocolate tastes really, really good, but chocolate is not really poisonous, not like cyanide. That doesn't change the fact that it can kill your dog. It is theobromine that is harmful to dogs, if you can find chocolate without it you'll have the happiest dog in town. Theobromine is a stimulant found in the coca plant.
Dogs and horses are greatly affected by theobromine... The amount of chocolate that will harm your dog will vary depending on the size, age, health of your dog, and the type of chocolate. Baker's chocolate has much more theobromine than regular milk chocolate."
"...dogs are poor at metabolizing, or breaking down, theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), a chemical compound that is found in chocolate. Theobromine has a similar chemical structure to caffeine, but is present in much higher quantities in chocolate than caffeine is; it is also found in tea and cola products."

Yes, it's like poison. Sometold me (I don't know if it's true) that it's equivalent to cocaine but for dogs. But yeah don't give your dog chocolate. It's very bad for them.

The chemical theobromine can kill dogs.
Do not feed your dog chocolate.
There are many other treats that wour dog would like far better than chocolate anyway.

It is very bad for dogs even in a small quantity. There systems are not equipped to break it down and it acts like poison to them.

Funny though, cause they have no problem digesting POOP.
