FYI…only bakers chocolate is unsafe for dogs. A basic Hershey’s chocolate bar might make them sick because of all the sugar but it will not poison them…from my VET of 20+ years!
Yes, chocolate is always on the list of things not to feed your dog. The poster at the vet’s office has this along with onions and garlic. That being said, I had a dog that once ate an entire 1 lb box of chocolate and never got sick.

Part of the scientific name for cacao is theobroma, meaning “drink of the gods”. Reversing that gives you “poison of the dogs”.
