Is it okay to feed my dog cookies in moderate amounts?

Pic related; a dog sharing a cookie with its master.

Yes, as snacks. Never let your dog get a hold of dark chocolate-cocoa is poison to them, fresh garlic or onions, grapes or especially raisins, and don't ever let them tear up and ingest a tomato plant. Not the tomatoes themselves, but the leaves and bark.

yes, dogs not being able to eat chocolate is a myth

I was curious about this and looked it up.
The LD50 for chocolate for dogs is actually very high.
It's dependent on body weight, so smaller dogs with be more susceptible but I think it works out to like 5 - 15% of the dog's weight before they hit the LD50.

It's not a myth, it's just a ratio thing. Normal, milk chocolate has so little cacao that it usually won't effect a dog. Dark chocolate with more than 60% cacao is verging on dangerous, especially if a small dog like a chihuahua gets a hold of a whole bar of it. So it's just the cacao you have to keep in mind, and if you think your dog ate a pretty large amount of it and starts to get sick, you should get them into the vet as soon as possible.

isn't LD50 just the amount you need to force feed a bunch of animals until half of them keel over dead?

there are probably lots of things that have a high LD50 but still can do serious damage in low doses.

Also, this thread should really be on /an/ and not /ck/, so saging now.
