Ask your vet: ANY chocolate will do the trick. It's the theobromine,
chocolate's "secret ingredient," if you will, that can kill certain
animals, such as dogs, and as CHers said, 'Them thar hogs.'

Theobromine, theophylline, and caffeine are three very similar
compounds. 
IIRC, Tea, coffee, and chocolate, contain all three of these. 

Tea has more theophylline than the other two.
Coffee has more caffeine than the other two.
Chocolate has more theobromine than the other two.

I'll quit now, before the CH version of Cheers' Carla the barmaid jumps
in and starts wise-cracking...
