Concerns about Cocoa Meal and Pets
Plant-tone does contain less than 10% cocoa meal which is the remaining mash after the cocoa
butter is extracted from the bean.
The concern regarding dogs and chocolate is the presence of theobromine – a caffeine like
compound. Toxicity can be an issue when a dog ingests 100 mg per kg of body mass or more of
this substance. In processed milk chocolate that would be the equivalent of at least 1 oz per one
lb. of body weight.
As stated above the cocoa meal we use has the butter extracted and the level of theobromine is
nil. A dog would need to ingest a tremendous amount of the pure meal (most likely much more
than its’ own body weight in mass) and this is a very small percentage of the finished Plant-tone
product. We believe there is no cause for concern over the presence of cocoa meal in Plant-tone.
We use it in our own gardens and we have dogs.
I hope this answers your question. If I can be of additional assistance please write.
