NO child would ever ever feed their real life puppy any kind of chocolate…

If a child attempted to give their dog chocolate cake or cookies, the game could perhaps warn/explain to them the harmful nature of that choice. (Obviously this would be more useful if animals were available to which chocolate wasn't toxic.)

As long as they show that it is necessary to boil your chocolate before feeding it to your dog it's fine. I am totally kidding, it would melt. If they have nothing but dogs on the site, it's quite an oversight to add chocolate as a treat.
