Paws Off! The Dangerous Foods You Must Avoid for Your Pets

4. Chocolate: Cats and Dogs

You've likely heard that dogs should steer clear of chocolate, but what about cats? Surprisingly, chocolate is also toxic for felines, although it's not as commonly discussed. The ingredients caffeine and theobromine can disrupt your pets' heart rhythm and nervous system.

Among chocolate types, cocoa powder is the most toxic, while milk and white chocolates are less hazardous. If consumed, chocolate can trigger symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, panting, increased thirst and urination, irregular heartbeats, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, and, in severe cases, death.
