 Chocolate Think of chocolate for your pet as a major overdose of caffeine. It affects the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal system. Everything goes into overdrive and your pet's body can't handle it. The heart races, vomiting, and horrible diarrhea will result. Depending upon the amount of chocolate, it can very easily be life threatening. As soon as you know your pet got into any chocolate, you must bring your pet in to be checked.  Why is chocolate toxic to your pets and not us? We are able to metabolize the toxic substances in chocolate. Your pet cannot.
