My cat drank sugar-free chocolate milk, is it dangerous for her?

The problem with chocolate milk is that it contains both chocolate and milk. Chocolate is toxic to cats, and milk causes GI upset because cats are lactose intolerant. Cali likely will be ok if she drank a very small amount, but you could see some vomiting and/or diarrhea. If you do see that, I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cats cannot consume chocolate as they do not break down theobromine and caffeine the same way we do. Cats break these chemicals down much slower then we do. When given, these chemicals can negatively affect the central nervous system as well as the cardiovascular system. Here is a list of potential side effects of consuming chocolate in cats: Tachycardia and arrythmias Vomiting Diarrhea Seizures Tremors Lethargy Death Not to mention, the fat and sugar in chocolate can cause pancreatitis. I hope this helps!

I think Mirz will likely be fine. The most toxic chocolate is the unsweetened baker's chocolate. Milk chocolate and white chocolate are the least toxic. It doesn't sound like she got enough to make her sick based on what you said above. I recommend you just monitor her closely for any abnormal behavior or symptoms. Here is a link to an article about chocolate in cats. This may help you determine if you think she ate too much. https://www.petful.com/pet-health/can-cats-eat-chocolate/ If you are worried at all then take her to your vet ASAP. It is better to be safe than sorry in most instance.s Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Rarely will cats eat enough chocolate to become toxic. Milk chocolate with the Rice Krispies should be ok. It’s the dark baking chocolate that is the most toxic and cats are quite fussy, unlike dogs, and they won’t eat as much. Keep an eye on him. Signs of toxicity starts with agitation. If he should start acting abnormally excited then you may want to have him checked at your emergency clinic. Do not try to have him vomit as that may cause more medical issues than the chocolate.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is very unlikely that it would cause any concern as the percent of cocoa in the whipped cream is likely very small, and ingesting a small volume, would result in a small amount of cocoa consumed. I recommend that you monitor, any vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures or hyperactivity bring them to a vet right away. Best of luck with Zoe and Wilshire!

That was naughty of Nyx to eat the ice cream! I would first check the ingredients of the ice cream. If it doesn't contain a large amount of real chocolate or dark chocolate (as opposed to milk chocolate), there may not be enough chocolate in the ice cream to cause problems. If it does contain large amounts of chocolate or dark chocolate, rush her into a vet immediately. I would monitor her for signs of chocolate toxicity to be safe which include rapid and/or labored breathing, hyperactivity, rapid heart rate, tremors, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, and general symptoms of illness like decreased appetite and/or lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take her into a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

According to the list of ingredients on the package this almond milk does not contain xylitol but cane sugar as a sweetening agent. So, in that respect you do not have to worry about your dog having ingested xylitol with this almond milk. I think the worst that will happen is that your dog may get a little diarrhea from the almond milk, if this was a new food to him.
