Chocolate Chart


  • I don't know if you Bs have a taste for chocolate but we have to keep ours literally on top of the refrigerator to keep Lycia from getting to it. I stumbled across this interactive chart to estimate the dangers levels from your dog eating different kinds of chocolate. Obviously first thing to do is call the vet, but I liked it for a good rule of thumb.

  • Neither Darrel nor I eat chocolate - maybe the odd one at Christmas, but that's it. But funny how when I read the title of this thread it really caught my eye - I thought it was going to list the best chocolates!

    Good info, thanks for passing it on.

    Very good to know…mine sometimes climb the counter..(well Moses doesn't need climbing) and gets chocolate muffins or the occasional chocolate milk, my kids are very good about keeping their chocolates up high..but these chocolate flavored items sometimes gets forgotten..


  • I've never had problems with the Basenjis related to chocolate but of course I don't ever give it to them. However they have stolen the occasional chocolate item but thankfully with no effects. It always gives me a great deal of worry though when this happens.
    This is a very interesting chart.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
