Why can't cats eat chocolate?

2023-05-25 20:38:10 192

Cats cannot eat chocolate, mainly because chocolate contains substances such as theobromine and caffeine. These substances may be delicious stimulants to humans, but they are toxic to cats.


Theobromine and caffeine can affect the nervous, cardiovascular, and digestive systems in cats. Excessive intake of theobromine and caffeine can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heartbeat, thirst, frequent urination, muscle tremors and even poisoning in cats. In addition, chocolate may contain other ingredients that are harmful to cats, such as sugar and dairy products.


Therefore, we strongly do not recommend chocolate as cat food or snacks to avoid unnecessary health risks to cats. If you suspect your cat has ingested chocolate, seek immediate medical attention and seek veterinary help.
