Dogs and chocolate

Chocolate is a good treat for yourself, but not for your dog.

Dogs can eat chocolate but only with a very small amount. Chocolate to dogs can be extremely poisonous. A 100g of chocolate can be deadly to a 10-kg dog.
Chocolate is metabolized in a very sluggish manner and could take days to clear from your dog's body.
It is much better to feed them a specifically-made treat for your dogs, and if you're wondering, cats are even more less tolerant of chocolate!

Protein is Essential

A high-protein diet is essential for us to help our body grow and repair. We have been told to eat approximately 55 gm of protein daily for males, and 45 gm for females, based on average weights.
