Why is chocolate bad for dogs and cats?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:52:08 GMT

(WHTM) - Dogs and cats love food, but they shouldn't have certain kinds, such as coffee, chives, onions, grapes and garlic.But one food that many humans love is particularly dangerous for dogs and cats: chocolate.

Dogs and cats cannot metabolize theobromine and caffeine as well as people can, so they are more sensitive to the chemical.
