Hello, I'm a pet care expert with a strong background in animal nutrition and safety. I'm here to provide you with accurate and helpful information regarding pet health and well-being.

Chocolate is a popular treat for humans, but it's not safe for dogs. The theobromine in chocolate can be toxic to dogs, as they metabolize it much slower than humans. Theobromine is similar to caffeine and can cause symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and in severe cases, seizures or even death.

There is no such thing as "dog-safe chocolate." Even products labeled as "chocolate" that are made with carob or other non-chocolate ingredients are not recommended, as they can still contain traces of theobromine or other harmful substances.

If you're looking for a treat that is safe for your dog, there are many pet-specific treats available on the market that are formulated to be both delicious and safe for your pet.
