Chocolate Toxicity: National Geographic's Interactive Chart

Did you know that just 3 ounces of dark chocolate can be deadly for an average (6 pound) Yorkie Terrier?

While many people are aware that chocolate is dangerous to dogs, most don't know the specifics for their own dogs. Because the type of chocolate and quantity vary greatly, National Geographic's Interactive Chocolate Chart is very helpful. Use the slider bar to scroll to the approximate size of your canine companion to see how much different types of chocolates harm your pet.

Of course,NEVER give chocolates to your dog, and NEVER put them within reach. (Remember, dogs can also bite through boxes and bags that contain them.)
