You’ve probably heard that chocolate is a poison and can kill your dogs, and maybe you’ve even read that chocolate can kill dogs and puppies, and other mammals but what exactly is chocolate? Why is it so dangerous to dogs? If you’re interested in learning more about what chocolate is, I’ve got you covered. This article will give you some information about chocolate so that next time you or your dog is tempted by a bowl of it, you have a better idea of what to expect. 

How Chocolate Is One of the Most Toxic Foods of the Modern World:

Chocolate isn’t just any substance that you can find in the supermarket. In fact, chocolate only originates from the cacao bean plant. Cacao Is The Only Substance That Can Be Called Chocolate A cacao bean plant is usually where chocolate comes from. In fact, chocolate is derived from the cacao bean plant, also known as cocoa. The beans come from the cocoa pod, which can produce one hundred and thirty-eight cacao beans. The cacao bean is one of the richest sources of calories and fat that we know of. It also contains a whopping twenty-five percent theobromine, which is a mild stimulant.

Chocolate is something that brings pleasure, like most things. There was a time when it was seen as a delicacy. Now it’s closer to the diet category. Sure, chocolate is probably delicious, but there’s a reason why other things brought to the table would never attract attention. Chocolate is deadly. That’s why chocolate is found in more toxic foods than all of the other ingredients combined.

The taste of strawberries has a much stronger effect on the brain than the taste of chocolate. It seems that the chemical compounds in strawberries if eaten in large quantities, will cause a dopamine spike, which will induce an "amusement response” that can snap dogs out of their moods and make them less likely to react to a threat.

How does chocolate affect your Dog?

Dogs seem to have an adverse reaction to chocolate; they are known to vomit when they consume the sweet, sticky substance. The reaction that a dog experiences when consuming chocolate is called “the Great Purge,” or Purging. The most likely cause is the dog's ingestion of too much sodium, which can lead to dehydration. While any dog can be affected by the Purge, some breeds are more susceptible than others. Small, toy dogs seem to be at greater risk of developing Purging than large dogs. The Purge is more prevalent in the summer months, but it can occur at any time of the year. Some dogs experience the Purge after eating chocolate, while others experience it after eating other sweets. While the Purge is unlikely to affect your dog for a week or more, dogs that experience it often feel miserable and weak. Any dog that has a tendency toward Purging should be monitored carefully after consuming chocolate, especially if the chocolate contains cocoa.

Signs of Purging include;

• vomiting
• diarrhea, and
• excessive urination or defecation.

Keep an eye on your dog to make sure that there are no physical signs of Purging. Hands-On Detection training is the best way to prevent your dog from engaging in Purging.

Health Recommendations on Dog Foods

Hot Dogs: Hot dogs should be cooked well because they are high in fat and sodium. According to the National Research Council, eating three hot dogs a day can cause dangerous blood pressure increases and sodium retention.

Grapes and Raisins: Dogs that ingest grapes or raisins can suffer from upset stomachs, vomiting, and diarrhea. If found in the mouth, you should discard them. I discovered in the stomach, you can put a solution of 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp baking soda in the dog's water bowl. If the pet still feels uneasy, take the pet to your veterinarian. Hotdog Food Hotdog food needs to be carefully measured to avoid overfeeding. Remember that, because dogs are high in water content compared to other pets, a hotdog can easily be 1/5 its size. If your dog has a food allergy, look for low-allergen dog foods. These can be found in most pet supply stores and are usually sold in boxes or cans.

Chicken Foods According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, a good source of protein to provide protein to your dog is chicken. However, if your dog has an intolerance to chicken, look for chicken products that are labeled "complete," which means they contain all the necessary nutrients to be considered complete and nutritionally adequate. Many meat companies are moving toward using all-natural and organic products.

Chocolate Bars: You've probably heard of the saying "if it's brown, it's good," and there's certainly some truth to this. Chocolate is a great food for dogs, especially if they have a sensitivity to foods. However, chocolate contains theobromine, a mild form of caffeine, so it should only be given in moderation, and not in a large quantity at once.

A portion of good food for dogs with a chocolate sensitivity is called Purina V-Pills chocolate formula, made by Purina Mills. It's a small, brown, round tablet. It is a nutritionally complete food that contains all the nutrients that your dog needs.

Peanut Butter: Peanut butter has been a long-time food for dogs. Now it has become a great way to give your dog a source of protein. Peanut butter is not too expensive or too high in cholesterol. It is a great source of protein but it should not be used as a primary source of nutrition for your dog. The peanut butter must come from peanuts, not other nuts or seeds. When using peanut butter as a supplement to your dog's diet, make sure that your dog does not have peanut allergies or other nut allergies. You can include peanut butter in the regular food program for dogs, in moderation.

Rice: Rice is a great source of carbohydrates and proteins, and can be given as "cookouts for humans." While not all dogs are fans of rice, they are certainly no weenies when it comes to rice. Add some to your dog's meal to provide carbohydrates and give them a bit of additional protein. However, make sure that the rice is not in the form of a pate or a patisserie, as those can be toxic to dogs. The rice should be the type of rice that is sold fresh. Green Vegetables: Many dogs love fresh

Dog Food Recipes for Health

Protein is vital for the health, fitness, and longevity of your dog. Your dog needs a minimum of 20-25 percent of its everyday calories as a protein source. A good daily protein amount for dogs is about 15-20 percent of the diet. This is an amount that will ensure your dog stays lean and active. Remember to feed high-quality protein sources. Not all proteins are created equal. There are whole foods like chicken, salmon, eggs, and beans that offer more health benefits. You can supplement with any protein. When feeding a larger dog, a 60-75% ratio of high-quality protein sources to the rest of the food is a good idea. Some of the best protein sources for dogs include lamb, duck, venison, wild game, raw milk, goat milk, and wild seafood.

 This is what your dogs diet needs to be based on.

Diet needs are based on a percentage of your dog’s body weight. For a 60-pound dog, your daily diet needs would be 3.6-4 percent of your dog’s body weight. Your dog’s diet needs will increase with age. New diets that are designed to suit a dog’s growing needs are available. This is a great way to keep your dog from getting older.

This is what your Canine Diet should be.

In most cases, chocolate can be accommodated by a pet with conditions such as gastrointestinal problems, kidney disease, and diabetes. Typically, consuming chocolate should not be dangerous to most dogs as chocolate can cause vomiting in the presence of too much salt, and dogs have the ability to regulate the amount of salt they consume. It's not always recommended that chocolate be given to a dog of any age, but it's safe to do so in small quantities.

 This is what not to feed your dogs!

You are feeding your pet super toxic food that is not recommended for your dog or humans. What is the danger of feeding your dog foods with cocoa and coffee? Coffee and cocoa are both caffeine and caffeine are harmful to dogs. Caffeine is very dangerous to dogs. It will cause tremors, seizures, vomiting, and diarrhea and can be lethal if given in large amounts. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) states that caffeine is a no-no in the diet of any animal. It's best to feed your dog a diet of quality, low-caffeine foods that are low in fat, and high in protein. Don't feed your dog products containing milk or dairy, which can increase your dog's urge to eat, causing weight gain. If you have been in the habit of feeding your dog treats with caffeine-rich products like chocolate or coffee, you will want to gradually bring down that high level of caffeine after giving your dog one or more of these treats. You will want to take a bit of time to give him time to get used to the change.
