There are always dog owners, vets and pet enthusiasts alike who claim you should not feed your dog Chocolate.  I hear the stories of dogs becoming violently ill, having the runs and even dying. Well over the holidays I committed a sin, and fed both our dogs chocolate.  I must tell you there were serious side effects,but first let me explain what I fed them.  I gave them approximately a small human bite of pure milk chocolate.

Here is the side effects I noticed when feeding my dogs chocolate:
1. While preparing it, they barked, jumped and ran the kitchen in excitement.
2. They tried to climb the counter as it smelled so good.
3. They ate it in less than 2 seconds! Garbled it right up.
4.  Once done they were very happy! Wagging their little tails and asking for more!
5. They did not get sick!
6.  No runs, no sickness.

Nothing but mmmmm!!   The dogs loved it and I do not understand how anyone could deprive their dog of just a little chocolate in their lifetime.  How would you feel?

Now I did a little research into the topic and have learned the following;

1. Do not over do it, the chocolate won't necessary kill your dog but if given too much it can be hard on their digestive system causing unwanted side effects ie) runs and vomit.
2.  If your dog has an underlying condition such as heart trouble etc, you may want to give your dog very little chocolate.
3.  I spoke to a vet and they advise NOT to feed your dog dark chocolate.  Apparently  dogs react to coco and it is very high in it and CAN be lethal. 
4.  Remember when feeding your dog anything always keep an eye on then after in case they have a weird reaction.
5.  Any doubts contact your vet.. I am not a vet just a dog lover.

Has anyone else ever fed their dog chocolate?  what is your opinion on this matter?
