I know we should feed our friends the proper food, and I also know that we tend to sometimes give them some of our food. It's just that I heard somewhere that among all the 'house" food we can give our babies we can never, ever give them chocolate....Is this true?...And if so, why?...

From my understanding its the ingredients derived from the cocoa bean that is toxic to dogs.

the theobromine in it causes toxicity & can kill them.
