I'm not too sure the difference between white n dark chocolate, maybe the coco bit was left out in the white chocolate. But I do know chocolate is no good for dogs. It can kill them due to some chemical compound in it. For the safe site, better not give to them.

I throw my dog a piece of white chocolate every once in a while if I'm having one and I don't think anything's wrong with him. I think white chocolate, like any other food, if given to your dog in moderation or small quantities and not on a regular basis, wouldn't be harmful, unless of course your dog has a really bad allergic reaction to white chocolate. But don't take my word for it. Might as well ask your vet. Have a good one.

Hello, I'm not sure if it is good for dogs. But I on the other hand would not feed it to my dog only because if milk chocolate is bad for them then I would think that white chocolate would be bad for them too. I would not do it just to be on the safe side, because if you feed the dog the white chocolate and something happened to your dog then you would feel bad that you tried it. So I would recommend that you should not try it just to be on the safe side. Happy Mylotting

I don't know i have heard from my friend that dogs should not be given sweet items because sugar damages their health i can't say how far he is correct because he don't even have a dog.
