Can cats eat chocolate?
If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to cats. Contains theobromine, which cats cannot metabolise. Cats cannot metabolize theobromine found in chocolate, which builds up in their system and causes severe poisoning. Even small amounts can lead to life-threatening symptoms like seizures, heart failure, or death.
Watch out for
- dark chocolate
- baking chocolate
- chocolate chips
- cocoa powder
- chocolate-covered treats
