Most Halloween candies are made of chocolate. Chocolate contains a chemical compound called theobromine. While the amount of theobromine in chocolate is fairly safe for human consumption (we metabolize it very fast), even small amounts can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. As levels increase, side effects can lead to hyperactivity, tremors, high blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, seizures, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest. It's not surprising that canine poisonings rise alarmingly at this time of the year as family pets get into Halloween candies.
