Shaking can be from the normal (cold or scared), it can be from food moving through the intestines and causing pain or it could be something else...possibly neurological.

Not only is it a good idea not to give chocolate, it can be very dangerous to dogs. It can cause neurologic symptoms and even death. Dogs should NEVER be given chocolate.


I would really try to get this looked into, as it sounds like he is in pain. What premium food are you feeding, exactly, and what foods have you tried in the past? Maybe it is an ingredient that is bothering him.

If for 2 years you were giving mostly just plain chicken and cheese for the diet, his system is likely out of balance quite a bit - and getting him on a proper diet could help a lot.

Chocolate can kill a dog, like Crystal said.
