wrong, it contains a chemical that they can't handle. just look it up:p its not an old wives tale.

i always thought it was...but i guess i was wrong! thanks for clearing that up 0roo0roo

Nope, chocolate is bad for all dogs, although how much chocolate it takes to affect a dog varies based on breed / size. Mutts tend to do better with it than purebreds.
