Death by Chocolate for DOGS
May 28, 2014
Chocolate can be fatal to dogs. As dogs are small they can easily eat enough chocolate to kill them. According to The Royal Society of Chemistry
LD50 or Lethal Dose for 50% of the population of dogs for Theobromine is 300 mg/kg or 0.3 gm/kg.
chihuahua weighs 3 kg or less

Great Dane weighs 64 kg
