Toxicity in animal

Your pet may think Chocolate taste good like you do. Don't like them taste it! Chocolate can be good for human but may be dangerous for many animals. Theobromine found in chocolate is toxic to animals such as horses, dogs, parrots, small rodents, and cats because they are unable to metabolise the chemical effectively. If they are fed certain amount of chocolate, the theobromine will remain in their bloodstream for up to 20 hours, and these animals may experience epileptic seizures, heart attacks, internal bleeding, and eventually death. Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible if your dog or cat had eaten some of your Chocolate.
