The answer to this question is Chocolate.
In relatively large amounts, chocolate and cocoa items can actually kill your dog. The poisonous component used in chocolate is theobromine. People effortlessly use theobromine, yet dogs process it significantly more slowly, enabling it to develop to harmful levels in their system.
Chocolate contains both theobromine and caffeine, both which can speed the heart rate and invigorate the nervous system of dogs.
The answer is chocolate.
The toxic component of chocolate is theobromine. Humans easily metabolize theobromine, but dogs process it much more slowly, allowing it to build up to toxic levels in their system.
A large dog can consume more chocolate than a small dog before suffering ill effects.
A small amount of chocolate will probably only give your dog an upset stomach with vomiting or diarrhea.
With large amounts, theobromine can produce muscle tremors, seizures, an irregular heartbeat, internal bleeding or a heart attack. The onset of theobromine poisoning is usually marked by severe hyperactivity.
