Chocolate

Does anyone out there know for a fact that chocolate will kill you pet if they accidently eat it. I left chocolate on living room table and my dog got it when I wasn't watching ate it all wrapper  and chocolate only thing left was empty bag.

I don't believe it will actually kill them, but its really bad for pets and can get them very sick. Its best to keep it away where pets won't get to it.

Your dog might get sick, depending on the size of the dog... my dog (about the size of a small golden retriever) once ate an entire pan of brownies and didn't seem terribly distressed afterwards.  Then again, I don't know how much chocolate was really in the brownies compared to actual chocolate candy.  When in doubt, call your vet!

I've never heard of it killing a dog, but their stomach doesn't handle it well.
