I think the chocolate thing is like seat belts. Most likely, you can ride your entire life without ever really needing your seat belt -- it's just that on that rare, rare occasion, you will be really happy you have one on.
I remember Victoria Stillwell did a special "It's Me Or The Fat Dog" a few years ago, and this chihuahua had been eating about half a bar of semi-sweet chocolate every night. Victoria showed the family what a "toxic" dose was, and it was clearly about 1/5 of what the dog had been eating for years.
Still, it's good to know you should watch out for your dog eating an entire bag of semi-sweet chips. |
