Is mexican chocolate any less harmful to dogs then regular chocolate?
Q : So my dog ate a tablet of mexican chocolate drink mix. It's called "Abuelita" by nestle. In the ingredients it says it contains "chocolate processed with alkali." What is alkali?A : Mexican chocolate is neither more nor less toxic to dogs. Chocolate toxicity depends on the amount of cacao consumed. The darker the chocolate, the higher the cacao concentration. Baking chocolate is the worst, then dark chocolates, then milk chocolate, etc.
The tablet your dog ate doesn't have enough cacao to harm him.
