Chocolate toxicity in dogs is caused by theobromine, a methylxanthine compound that dogs metabolise far more slowly than humans. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate contain the highest concentrations and pose the greatest danger.

公式

Compare to toxicity thresholds: <20 mg/kg = minimal risk, >60 mg/kg = severe/emergency

ステップバイステップガイド
