Can dogs die from milk chocolate?

Yes, dogs can die from milk chocolate. Dogs are lactose intolerant and cannot easily digest milk. Milk chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that can be toxic to dogs. The amount of theobromine in milk chocolate varies, but even a small amount can be harmful to dogs. Symptoms of theobromine poisoning in dogs can include vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, increased urination, restlessness, anxiety, tremors, seizures, and heart problems. In severe cases, theobromine poisoning can be fatal. If you think your dog has eaten milk chocolate, contact your veterinarian immediately.
