Ram, chocolate is most definitely toxic to dogs and all other animals, for that matter. The "chocolate" chip cookies that andrew was able to buy were most assuredly made from carob. Carob is part of the legume family and has a similar taste to cocoa, and is often used as a substitute for chocolate. Here's a recipe I found for "chocolate" chip cookies for dogs, using carob chips: http://www.ehow.com/how_4498178_organic-...okies.html
