Can cats eat cocoa?
If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Cocoa contains theobromine and caffeine, which cats cannot metabolize effectively, leading to severe heart and nervous system issues. Even small amounts can trigger symptoms like vomiting, rapid breathing, and seizures.
Watch out for
- cocoa powder
- chocolate bars
- baking chocolate
- cocoa shells
- sweetened cocoa mixes
