Chocolate Chart

I don't know if you Bs have a taste for chocolate but we have to keep ours literally on top of the refrigerator to keep Lycia from getting to it. I stumbled across this interactive chart to estimate the dangers levels from your dog eating different kinds of chocolate. Obviously first thing to do is call the vet, but I liked it for a good rule of thumb.

Neither Darrel nor I eat chocolate - maybe the odd one at Christmas, but that's it. But funny how when I read the title of this thread it really caught my eye - I thought it was going to list the best chocolates!
Good info, thanks for passing it on.

I've never had problems with the Basenjis related to chocolate but of course I don't ever give it to them. However they have stolen the occasional chocolate item but thankfully with no effects. It always gives me a great deal of worry though when this happens.
This is a very interesting chart.
