The dog ate chocolate solution:

1. To induce vomiting. It should be diluted with hydrogen peroxide and water and then fed to the dog, but pay attention to the dosage, and take the dog to exercise a lot so that it can induce vomiting as soon as possible.

2. Dilution. We can also give dogs some other food, or drink a lot of water to dilute the chocolate in the body to minimize the harm of chocolate.

3. See a veterinarian in time. Pay attention to bring the chocolate package that the dog eats, and also pay attention to judging the approximate amount that the dog takes, so that the doctor can better carry out targeted treatment.

Causes of chocolate poisoning in dogs:

1. Dogs have a slow metabolism. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, two substances that increase the dog's heart rate, relax muscles, and stimulate the dog's nervous system. Humans are able to metabolize these substances faster than dogs, and can more effectively metabolize theoline and caffeine from their bodies, while dogs cannot.

2. The degree of poisoning depends on the chocolate. Dogs who ingest about 100 to 150 mg of theobromine per kilogram of body weight will have a severe reaction. The severity of dog poisoning depends on the type and amount of chocolate and the weight of the dog.
