Chocolate is a delicacy that many parents will not refuse, but it is definitely poisonous food for pet cats. Therefore, parents should not give it to their pet cats just because they think they can eat it and it feels delicious. If your pet cat eats it, Too much chocolate may lead to death in severe cases, or vomiting and loss of appetite in mild cases. Therefore, chocolate is taboo for cats, and parents must not give it to cats.

1. Loss of appetite, salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea.

2. Frequent urination - Because theobromine has a diuretic effect, pets will urinate frequently, which can be used as a diagnostic indicator.

3. Central nervous system excitement, restlessness, trembling, unsteady steps, cramps, and severe coma.

4. Rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, and in severe cases, heart failure and death.

Generally, symptoms will occur 2-4 hours after cats eat chocolate products, and in severe cases, they will die within 1-2 days. If consumed in small amounts in batches for several days, theobromine will accumulate in the body, making it difficult to excrete it, causing chronic heart failure and death.

If you love a cat, you should think about it and strictly select the pet's food. You may not share the food you think is delicious with your pet. You originally love it, but if unfortunately the poison enters the mouth and turns into a poisoning incident, you will be in trouble. It goes against the original intention of love. It is best to feed pets their own food, such as feed and canned food. If you want to feed your pets snacks, there are many pet-specific snacks to choose from.

Another important reminder is that cats and dogs should not drink tea, coffee, or eat foods containing tea and caffeine. Because the caffeine in coffee, theophylline in tea, and theobromine in chocolate all contain methylxanthines, they can all cause poisoning in pets. In fact, many foods eaten by people are not suitable for pets, especially foods high in sugar, fat and additives.
