This makes these types of products toxic to our four legged friends either through direct consumption or from licking their paws after walking through it. Dogs can be attracted to this product because it smells like chocolate.  If your dog has ingested this product symptons may be from stomach upset to cardiac arrest.  It may takes hours or days for symptons to manifest. If you believe your animal has been exposed to this product and is showing signs of toxicity get in touch with your vet asap or go to emergency. Smaller dogs require much less exposure to experience toxicity than larger dogs.
