Why dogs can’t eat chocolate?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Chocolate is toxic to dogs because it contains chemicals called methylxanthines, specifically theobromine. Theobromine is the main toxin in chocolate and is very similar to caffeine.
Just a little bit of chocolate can cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs, while too much can cause seizures, irregular heart function and even death.<|im_end|>

i see can they eat starfruit?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, Star fruit contains soluble oxalate salts which on being ingested associates with the calcium present. This can result in a lowering of Calcium levels in canines abruptly. Starfruit poisoning symptoms may be visible in dogs between one and six hours after they have ingested it. Star fruit also contains the neurotoxin caramboxin which is toxic for dogs.<|im_end|>
