Chocolate - the human food, dog poison

 Leisure time in the afternoon, put a piece of silky smooth chocolate in the mouth, Well .. what a pleasant experience. At such times, how much you want to share this moment. Of course, if it can not find people , next to the piece of Liuzhuokoushui dog may be a good sharing of objects. keep a dog's friends certainly know that these friends do not speak like himself, is very keen on sweets. So, how do you bear it is saying innocent eyes standing face to face it?
but I want to tell you, quickly stopping!
dog eating chocolate poisoning, although it sounds more like readers, it is true.
in America, chocolate poisoning is caused by pet dog one of five common items, and the remaining four in the automotive antifreeze, marijuana, rat poison and insecticides.
chocolate to were unable to stop the secret is theobromine it contains (Theobromine).'s name is called theobromine, 3,7 - dimethyl xanthine, it excited the central nervous, relax muscles, increase heart rate mm will make people wonder love chocolate comes the feeling. theobromine also belong to the two famous brothers methylxanthine family, which is caffeine (Caffeine) and theophylline (Theophylline). just see a few names you might suddenly realize, cocoa, Coffee, tea can be three drinks, there is a common feature of the original. In addition, cola drinks as the world's fourth largest rely on the help of caffeine. carefully taste, whether it is coffee, cocoa, tea or cola, have a trace of bitterness, This is also thanks to the gift of methyl xanthine class of substances, and their sufferings are very pure, this is the camel personally tried, readers can rest assured.
human instinct is to resist to the bitter, because the bitter subtext is toxic. Indeed, cocoa, coffee, tea on the blood of these eight poles in the plant species that could not beat the reason why all contain a certain amount of methyl xanthine class of substances, the physiological bases of these plants is not necessary, but for self-defense. because in terms of these substances are toxic to most animals, but this trick on the people not to where the primates. We have such a high metabolic rate material, that is, the body of these toxins will soon detoxification through the liver and kidney excretion from the body. This is to make the material in people thousands and thousands of euphoria, we have now chosen these kind of another reason.
Unfortunately, our canine friends is not a primate animals, it can not effectively discharge the body of methyl xanthine class of substances. it takes about 20 hours to half of the body's intake of methylxanthines body. to theobromine, for example, the minimum toxic dose dogs TDLo 16 mg per kg body weight, and half the experimental animals can lead to the death of half of the lethal dose LD50 of 300 mg per kg of body weight. On the other hand the common milk chocolate theobromine content is about 1.4 mg / g, dark chocolate is its ten times the content is about 14 mg / kg. In order for you not to be halo around these figures, I directly linked to the dog and chocolate: 3 kg body weight for a Pomeranian, the time to eat 3.42 g dark chocolate may be toxic, this is just a small mouth; time to eat 10 grams of dark chocolate may be severe vomiting and cramps; an eating 60 grams of dark chocolate may be due to tachycardia and muscle rigidity and its pathetic life, which A plate of chocolate but only the weight of it. do not know hunger and eat the dog who swallowed a plate of chocolate is obviously not too hard to do. the famous Merck Veterinary Manual Merck Veterinary Manual recommends, the dog ate the dark chocolate a number of more than 1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight, we should sent to animal hospitals for treatment. In contrast, the dog died because of eating milk chocolate, much less the opportunity, because unless broke into the candy shop, eat several kilograms of chocolate a dog not many opportunities. As for the so-called white chocolate, you can rest assured that dogs eat very little because the alkali content of cocoa.
cats are more sensitive to these substances, but it has an advantage mm than dogs due to lack of a gene, the cat can not taste sweet, so no interest in desserts. and we methylxanthines substances to cover up a bad mood was a bit bitter, used to be mixed with a lot of sweet substances. dogs just like people likely to be sweet some beautiful. horse love sweets, but also very sensitive to methylxanthines substances, but they build large, is not easy so toxic.
2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Service, National Wild Animal Research Center scientist John Johnston, JOHN J. JOHNSTON interest in a paper of Colombian coffee and the pros and cons of coffee in Kenya, China and India, black tea quality green tea, cocoa powder and chocolate bars in length. Of course, Johnston is not a gourmet, he was only in the analysis, above which these things can poison dogs and cheaper quickly. In the United States each year a variety of wild canids, particularly coyotes, to the cause of farmers and herdsmen a lot of damage. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Survey 2001, published notice, the year 2000 alone, due to the loss suffered coyotes killed thousands of cattle and sheep worth 4 million dollars of the Giant 4. how to kill a coyote have become a Big heart disease. Early people made use of cyanide poison bait them, but cyanide is too purine, which is not only the dog's have been published in
