Theobromine Sensitivity in Animals

Primary Sensitive Species

Dogs: The most commonly affected and highly sensitive species to theobromine toxicity.
Cats: Also very sensitive, though they are generally less likely to ingest sweet foods voluntarily.
Horses: Susceptible to poisoning from cocoa byproduct feeds.

Key Physiological Factors

Slow Metabolism: These species metabolize and excrete theobromine much slower than humans.
Half-Life: In dogs, the half-life of theobromine is approximately 17.5 hours, leading to dangerous accumulation in the bloodstream.

Toxic Thresholds

Mild Symptoms: Can occur at doses as low as 20 mg per kg of body weight.
Severe Toxicity: Doses exceeding 40 to 50 mg per kg can lead to severe cardiac and neurological complications.
Lethal Range: Often cited around 100 to 200 mg per kg, though individual tolerance varies significantly.
