Just Jack Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Make sure your bear is allowed to leave the zoo first.... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/09/canada-alberta-zoo-bear-fed-ice-cream-charges
PromoTheRobot Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 We pass an ice cream place on the way to my favorite dog walking trail. After we stop and get the dog her own small dish of chocolate soft serve. She now knows the place from the road and gets all excited when she sees it. So why not a bear...other than the potential loss of limbs?
John from Riverside Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 So what exactly is the problem? Doesnt everybody take their bear out for drive thru?

I've had many dogs and never seen an adverse reaction from it. I did have one dog that found and ate an entire one pound Chunky bar. She puked it up all day but lived.

Yea maybe it’s minuscule I have had tons of dogs and never given them chocolate ice cream so wasn’t sure

Sig1Hunter Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Dark chocolate is the worst for a dog. Milk chocolate contains a relative small amount of actual chocolate that your dog should be ok, unless you have one of those yappy cat dog things. In that case, maybe it should just die anyway? Kidding.....i think. 1

It's poisonous to humans too... But you have to eat a lot. FWIW... The only mammal that can tolerate it in huge quantities is the rat. 20 minutes ago, Sig1Hunter said: Dark chocolate is the worst for a dog.

Saxum Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 My squirrels like chocolate; unfortunately they seem resistant to the poisoning. A couple of birds seem to like it too. 1

My sister’s dog (mini-dauchshund) got into my suitcase while I was visiting home, and ate 2 large pot brownies with chocolate chunks. He laid on his side kicking his legs with his tongue hanging out for about 8 hours, but other than that, he ended up just fine ?

From what I remember reading. You can't burn them out, say seagulls w/red hot Cheetoes...

But they really do suck at crossing the road. 1

I know the hot pepper bothers the squirrels in the bird food but they apparently learned to adjust. 1
