Can cats eat dog chocolate?

If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.

Why

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which cats cannot metabolize effectively, leading to severe poisoning. Even small amounts can cause life-threatening symptoms like seizures, heart arrhythmias, and tremors.

Watch out for

baking chocolate
chocolate-covered treats
