Increased urination, otherwise known as polyuria, is another telltale sign of chocolate toxicity you may notice straight away in your dog. This occurs due to a reaction to the chemicals in the chocolate, which mimics diuretics as it drains water from the body. However, because it is induced in a harmful way, it can cause severe dehydration, especially in combination with other symptoms. In addition to the overall increase in urination, there can also be blood in the urine. If you notice any blood in your dog's urine, consult your veterinarian or pet poison control immediately so you can work diligently to reduce the reaction.
