Can My Dog Eat White Chocolate?

Dog Care
By Amanda Clark

No! Chocolate is fatally toxic to dogs. Even a tiny amount can poison your pet. Dogs cannot metabolise theobromine, a component of chocolate, so it quickly builds to toxic levels and can lead to death. White chocolate has lower levels of theobromine, but is still dangerous in any amount. The typical treatment is to induce vomiting as quickly as possible after the chocolate has been ingested, so you must take your dog to your vet or an animal hospital immediately.

If your dog eats white chocolate, they need emergency veterinary care. Do not wait for warning signs. Untreated, they will likely experience these symptoms of poisoning:

  • Dehydration
  • Diarrhoea
  • Panting
  • Shaking
  • Seizures

Ultimately, white chocolate can kill your dog. If you suspect ingestion, seek immediate care.

There is a wide variety of “human food” that is healthy for your dog to eat, while others are considered toxic and dangerous. Check out which fruits and veg are good for your dog and if there are any spices and seasonings that are ok to give to your furry little buddy. We’ve created these articles to ensure you’re informed on feeding your dog a wonderfully varied diet while learning the limitations of a dog’s sensitive digestive system.
