Can dogs die eating a Chocolate Cake?

Question

My puppy jumped on the table and ate half of a chocolate cake. I'm freakin out cuz I love her more than anything and I don't want anything bad to happen. Do all kinds of dogs die from chocolate or just certain ones? Is it even an effect at all? Because it's a cake, is it not as bad as solid chocolate? Is there anything I can do to prevent it right now?

Answer 1

A few M&Ms killed my precious Pug..No chocolate is a safe amount.. Get your pup to eat a LOT of something he really likes, and hopefully he will vomit..if he doesn't, it will at least slow down the metabolism of the chocolate..

Answer 2

Chocolate is poison to dogs. That's what I've heard. My sister's dog has eaten an entire chocolate cake and has had countless other chocolate incidents. One time my dog ate a whole bag of chocolate. I've heard of many dogs eating a lot of chocolate and getting sick. But I've never heard of a dog dying from eating chocolate. For a puppy I would be a little more concerned.

Obviously you have to monitor your puppy, and if you are really concerned then call a 24 hour vet or maybe the ASPCA.

I'm sure everything will be fine. Take her outside. If she's not feeling well she may eat some grass. Let her eat a little.

My dog ate some chocolate candy bars a couple weeks ago and I called a toxicologist. Here's what he said: Watch the dog and if it starts acting strange (getting super hyper, panting, vomiting) take her to the vet. If there was any dark baker's chocolate in the cake, however, I would take her to the animal hospital, because that stuff is really dangerous. Just keep a close eye on her for the next day or two.

Answer 6

Don't worry the only kind of dogs that die from a Chocolate Cake are those that eat one poisoned.

Answer 7

Yes my mom told me along time ago that chocolate, any kind of chocolate can kill a dog im not sure about chocolate cake, it depends Nothing but three options feed him something like chicken
not that greasy to help him poop it out or help burn the chocolate right out. Or you can make her drink water to wash it down or take her to the vet to get antibiotics. I have a yorkie poo so I know alot about that.Im not sure about it effects all dogs But theres a 50% she'll live or a 50% she'll die. Or she just may get real sick.
For future reference always push your chairs in on your table and keep a eye on your puppy never leave chocolate on the table or a little table if you have one because all dogs can climb.P.S. dont give chocolate or regular milk to dogs either it gives them diherrea
or makes them sick.

There's nothing you can do now that your dog has eaten the cake but the facts are that chocolate is not good for dogs. It makes them unfit and it puts strain on their blood flow. If you want to reward your dog try giving her dog chocolate (you can buy pedagree dog chocolate at the supermarket) I dont think that little bit of cake will hurt.

Chocolate is made from the beans of the cacao tree. It is not the caffeine but Thebromine that is the toxic chemical found in chocolate that affects dogs adversely. Although caffeine is also present in chocolate, it is in much smaller amounts.

Theobromine's effect on the canine body:

It is a stimulant to the CNS - Central Nervous System
It is a stimulant to the cardiovascular system
It increases blood pressure
It causes nausea and vomiting
Three important factors determine the degree of damage and toxicity; the size of the dog, the type of chocolate eaten and the amount of chocolate consumed.

All chocolate is not alike. Unsweetened [baker's] chocolate contains 8-10 times the amount of Theobromine as milk chocolate. Semi-sweet is 4-5 times more potent than milk chocolate. White chocolate contains Theobromine, but is smaller amounts; therefore Theobromine poisoning is unlikely with white chocolate. Concentrations of Theobromine varies as follows: Milk chocolate has 44mg/oz. Semisweet chocolate has 150 mg/oz.; and Baking chocolate has 390mg/oz.

It depends on what type of chocolate was in the cake. If it was dark chocolate then he might be very sick and will need vet attention if he ate a lot. If it was milk chocolate he should be fine. It's the dark chocolate that is very bad for them. Call the vet and tell then how much he got into and see what they say. He should be fine but keep a close eye on him just incase. I hope he is alright!

Answer 11

Many people think of chocolate as the ultimate treat, but this innocent, but fattening treat can be deadly for dogs. A lively Beagle, finding an open bag of chocolate morsels, wolfed them down as fast as he could. His owner thought little of the incident, and cleaned up the mess left by his pet. That evening the dog collapsed and died. What would cause the healthy dog to die so suddenly, a new canine virus? No, the ailment was a little known, but nonetheless deadly problem called Chocolate Toxicosis, or chocolate poisoning.

The element in the chocolate that is so deadly to dogs is a substance called Theobromide. The size of the dog and type of chocolate have a bearing on the amount of "Goodie" that will cause toxic results. Chocolate is not a treat that pet owners should dole out to their unsuspecting but loving canine friends.

Holidays are especially dangerous times, when large quantities of candy and other chocolate treats may be found in the home. Chocolate has a tempting taste that pets and owners alike can enjoy. Since our dogs are often considered members of the family, it is natural to wish to share our treats. But this is one treat that should be kept out of his or her reach.

Dr. Sullivan, a toxicologist at the University of Illinois Veterinary Medical School, says the problem of Toxicosis "can be significant, especially during the holidays when people do a lot of baking with chocolate."

The unsweetened or baking chocolate is the most dangerous as it contains the highest percentage of Theobromide per once; 400 MG per once as compared to 45 MG per ounce to milk chocolate. Usually toxic symptoms will occur when 100 MG of Theobromide are ingested per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of the animal's weight. So a 20 pound Beagle can succumb with the ingestion of just two ounces of baking chocolate.
