Why can’t dogs eat food like chocolate

Dogs can not eat chocolate, mainly because chocolate contains theobromine, such substances into the blood will paralyze the dog’s respiratory center, resulting in breathing difficulties, and can cause damage to the dog’s liver and kidneys. Therefore dogs are not allowed to eat chocolate, but also not to eat the same theobromine containing coffee, cocoa and other foods. The theobromine contained in chocolate can cause poisoning in dogs, and the purer the chocolate, the greater the damage to the dog. Each kilogram of chocolate contains 115 mg of theobromine may cause death in dogs, while the average pure chocolate contains about 400 mg of theobromine per ounce (29.6 grams).
