Some foods look very delicious, but they must not be eaten by Huskydogs (for specific foods that cannot be eaten, you can check Several kinds of husky dogs can't eat food). One of the most dangerous foods that many people can't think of is chocolate!

Strange, why can't huskies eat chocolate? Don't worry, let me introduce to you why huskies Reasons why dogs can't eat chocolate:

1. Reasons why huskies can't eat chocolate

Huskies can't eat chocolate. The main reason is that Xiao Hu is very sensitive to the caffeine in chocolate. Although there are great individual differences, it is true that some husky puppies will become excited after eating a small amount of chocolate.

And chocolate contains a lot of sugar, which is harmful to Xiaoha's health. The caffeine in chocolate is not poisonous to huskies. It can reduce blood flow to the brain, which can lead to heart disease and other deadly diseases.

Chocolate poisoning is directly related to the type of chocolate and the size of the husky. The purer the chocolate and the smaller the husky puppy, the greater the chance of poisoning. Theobromine contained in chocolate is the main cause of poisoning in dogs. 115 mg of theobromine per kilogram of chocolate may lead to the death of huskies, while ordinary pure chocolate contains about 400 mg of theobromine per ounce (29.6 grams).

In other words, one kilogram of husky puppy eating 9 grams of pure chocolate may cause death. (Most of the chocolates sold in the market are in 60 to 80 gram packages), so they have a really high chance of being poisoned.

Second, the symptoms of husky chocolate poisoning

The symptoms of chocolate poisoning are: vomiting, diarrhea, frequent urination, restlessness, hyperactivity, rapid heartbeat and breathing. Severe cases can also lead to ataxia (unsteady walking), cyanosis, arrhythmias, spasms, and even death due to loss of cardiovascular function.

The treatment of chocolate poisoning is mainly drug support therapy. In severe cases, bladder catheterization should be implemented to avoid double absorption of toxins through the urethral mucosa.

So, never try to feed huskies chocolate! The higher the purity of the chocolate, the higher the caffeine content, and the greater the harm to the husky. Toxic dose: 6-9 kg husky puppies who eat 226-340g of milk chocolate, or 28g of dark chocolate, may be fixed.
