Is this true? What about cats and dogs?

Yes, chocolates and stuff with caffeine is poisonous for cats and dogs.
Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine which is toxic to them.
I hope you're not trying to kill them.

Yes, chocolate can be poisonous to dogs and cats. It's the theobromine in it that is toxic. Cats are far more likely to be poisoned by ingesting it as they are so small, it doesn't take much to be harmful.

Definitely true about dogs.. Poison, bad for the teeth, sugar is bad for their heart, and they can develop diabetes.. Dogs absolutely do not need chocolate, no matter how much people like it, dogs like it.. It is not something that should be given to dogs..

Junk food, candy, sweets, and especially chocolate are dangerous to almost any animals(yes, including cats and dogs). Keep these foods away from your pets.
