For example, a substance in chocolate is a cardiac stimulant that can increase a dog's heart rate and cause it to beat irregularly. Dogs that eat large quantities of chocolate may even die.

Vomiting and diarrhea will be followed by breathlessness as the dog's blood loses its ability to carry oxygen. Another toxic food is macadamia nuts, which can cause muscle weakness and pain in a dog's limbs. Other potential hazards for dogs include broccoli, raisins, grapes, potato peelings, and yeast dough.
A) Several common foods are actually quite poisonous.
B) Certain foods are toxic to dogs.
