Why It's Dangerous
Protein bars often contain chocolate coatings and are sometimes sweetened with xylitol, particularly in low-sugar or diet varieties, both of which are genuinely toxic to dogs.
Symptoms to Watch For
- If xylitol present: collapse, weakness, seizures from low blood sugar
- If chocolate present: restlessness, rapid heart rate, tremors
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
Vet Guidance
Check the ingredients urgently for xylitol and chocolate content. If either is present, contact your vet immediately as an emergency.
