Corgi's (like Ian) will eat chocolate frogs but they don't die even though chocolate is poisonous to dogs

Issue bingo

Please check whatever applies. More checkboxes checked increase your chances of not being yelled at by every contributor.

It's not that chocolate in general is poisonous to dogs, but rather, the theobromine which varies by concentration. It is particularly dense in dark chocolate, three times higher than milk chocolate. For many dogs, ingesting small amounts of milk chocolate is not harmful.

@Kurfursten the only thing i'm understanding from this is that we should totally make theobromine

It's not as poisonous as people think, either. You should definitely keep chocolate away from your dogs, but a large dog is unlikely to be harmed by a small amount of chocolate I know a poodle who ate a pound of chocolate. The vet induced vomiting, so obviously he didn't process all of it, but he was fine after like a day

Of course, corgis weigh like half as much as that poodle, so who knows
