Old School Peanuts (Jun 11, 1953)



And then Snoopy died.

Chocolate is absolutely bad for dogs. Don't feed it to them on purpose. But it isn't exactly cyanide to them either -- a quick google says that the danger limit is about 0.5 ounces of milk chocolate per pound of dog. Which is kind of a lot, if you think about it. I strongly doubt I've ever come anywhere near that ratio myself, even after trick-or-treating. Still, I suppose even a small dog could probably wolf down an entire pan of brownies a hell of a lot faster than I could. Anyway, all I mean to say here is, as long as Snoopy weighs more than three or four pounds (and he absolutely does), he should be okay.

We had a miniature pinscher that, among other exploits, once ate nearly an entire bag of Hershey's kisses including the foils. (I was young enough at the time to not have had any responsibility over the dog so don't blame me.) He was fine and went on to live for about 8 more years to the age of 17.

poo poo, I also had a MinPin as a kid who ate one of those king sized dark hershey bars. She poo poo liquid for a day or two but was fine otherwise.

Maybe Hershey isn't real enough chocolate to "count."

It's the theobromine in chocolate that's bad for dogs and yeah, more cocoa means higher concentrations of it. Realistically, if your dog eats a little commercial candy, they'll be in more trouble from the fats causing GI upset, but it's tricky to predict how any given dog will react to a toxin so it's easier to just blanket ban all of it. A coworker's golden retriever ate a bunch of pot brownies and was in more danger from the marijuana (also toxic to dogs given how they metabolize it) than the chocolate, probably.

What's worse for dogs is raisins and grapes, onions aren't good either. The biggest danger I've seen is Xylitol (sugar substitute found in a lot of foods and candy) toxicity which can quickly cause some dogs to go into hypoglycemic shock and organ failure, and it's not a toxin a lot of people are aware about. Some dogs react super poor to it super quick while others can eat a whole pack of sugar-free candy and be fine.

The Phantom is actually a fervent believer in Xi Jinping Thought and is appalled that his son would fight against the PLA.

The next plot arc will be about preventing a terroist strike against a Belt and Road project in Bangalla.
