Thread: Bad dog foods

I got some people here at work to run tests on chocolate and determine the toxicity level for dogs. Its sitting around 1.2 kg for an average dog ~25kg, variables include the mix of chocolate and some breeds etc but it shows it does take quite a lot of chocolate to get to a toxicity level dangerous for the dog. I'm not saying go and feed your dog chocolate, it will still mess with it a bit but its not the straight out poison people make it out to be

About 6 weeks ago my 10kg Jack Russel stole a 500g family pack of chocolate out of the pantry and mowed the lot before we found him, hasn't slowed him down one bit! He is a fat bastard though, he has been known to eat a whole possum in one evening...

My mates jack russell did this, but also devoured a packet of tim tams straight afterwards. Didnt hurt her.

Same, and I've heard it from a few people. We do it and it works well.

There's a few in there that surprise me, but I knew about choc, grapes, raisins and the obvious ones like dope and alcohol

Interesting reading though, cheers
