Oh. Damn. Good thing I found this out.

I mean, I never have actually touched rogaine, but this is kinda like when I was 4, and I was going to feed a dog a piece of chocolate. The dog wanted chocolate, I wanted to share, suddenly I'm getting my hand slapped and yelled at.

Like c'mon! We JUST watched a seseme street last week about how good sharing is! Now my wrist hurts!

THEN she tells me dogs can't have chocolate! Like I'm just supposed to just KNOW a dogs digestive system! I'm still learning colors and shapes, and you're asking me to know biology of dogs!

So, no dogs have died from chocolate from me, and now I know if I lose my hair, and have a cat, I can't have rogaine. Because I assume I'll be sleeping, and you just KNOW my cat is gonna be the weirdo cat who licks people in their sleep. Suddenly I wake up with a dead cat.

So good thing I learned now.

Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey's kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she'd be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs

Chocolate is what poisons dogs. There's just a much higher concentration of it in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. Too much milk chocolate can still kill a dog, and "too much" isn't even all that much. 8 ounces of milk chocolate for a 30 pound dog is enough to be concerned about.
