Some foods look very delicious, but they must not be eaten by Husky dogs (for specific foods that cannot be eaten, you can check "Several Foods that Husky Dogs Can't Eat"). One of the most dangerous foods is one that many people would never think of, and that is "chocolate"!

Strange, why can’t huskies eat chocolate? Don’t worry, let me introduce to you the reasons why huskies can’t eat chocolate:

1. Reasons why Huskies can’t eat chocolate

Huskies cannot eat chocolate. The main reason is that Huskies are very sensitive to the caffeine in chocolate. Although individual differences are very large, some Husky puppies do become excited and restless after eating a small amount of chocolate.

Moreover, chocolate contains a lot of sugar, which is harmful to Xiaoha’s health. The caffeine in chocolate is poisonous to huskies. It can reduce blood flow to the brain, leading to heart disease and other potentially fatal illnesses.

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 puppies, the greater the chance of poisoning. The theobromine contained in chocolate is the main factor causing poisoning in dogs. Each kilogram of chocolate contains 115 mg of theobromine, which may cause the death of a husky. Generally, pure chocolate contains about 400 mg of theobromine per ounce (29.6 grams).

In other words, a one kilogram Husky puppy may die if it eats 9 grams of pure chocolate. (Most chocolates sold on the market are packaged in 60 to 80 grams), so the chance of them being poisoned is indeed high.

2. Symptoms of Husky Chocolate Poisoning

Symptoms of chocolate poisoning are: vomiting, diarrhea, frequent urination, restlessness, hyperactivity, and accelerated heartbeat and breathing. Severe cases can also lead to ataxia (unsteady walking), cyanosis, irregular heartbeat, spasm, and even death due to loss of cardiovascular function.

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

Therefore, you should never try to feed your Husky chocolate! The higher the purity of the chocolate, the higher the caffeine content, and the greater the harm to the Husky. Toxic dose: If a husky puppy of 6-9 kg eats 226-340g of milk chocolate or 28g of dark chocolate, it may be "fixed".
