Hello, I'm an expert in animal nutrition and pet care. Let's address your question about whether milk chocolate is bad for dogs.

Milk chocolate, like dark and white chocolate, contains a compound called theobromine. Theobromine is a stimulant that is toxic to dogs. It can cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe, depending on the amount ingested and the size of the dog. Symptoms of theobromine poisoning can include vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, seizures, and in extreme cases, it can be fatal.

The level of toxicity can vary based on the type of chocolate. Milk chocolate contains less theobromine than dark or baking chocolate, but it can still be harmful to dogs. It's important to note that even small amounts can be dangerous for small dogs or dogs with a sensitive digestive system.

In conclusion, it's best to keep all types of chocolate, including milk chocolate, away from your dog to avoid any risk of poisoning.
