I think certain things can effect certain dogs in different ways.I read a LONG list of foods that are suppsed to be highly toxic,and I was shocked because I had given mine half of those things before with no reaction what so ever There are ALOT of things out there that can makes our babies sick,but its not all on those lists and some of the things that are,are harmless in the quantities that we give to them
The reason im saying this is NOT so that people think they can give their babies chocolate..its for those whos babies accidently eat some and their owners think: "OMG..chocolate is on THE LIST".Iv seen many posts where people are frantic and worried sick,so this post in a way is to et them know that their babies should be fine
Great reasoning Chelsea!! I never thought to cover that subject " What if " I ran across this in my AKC Magazine and thought it would help to determine Is chocolate deadly or a myth? Your post is defininitly a great followup
