Theobromine can cause various symptoms in dogs, including vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, tremors, and even seizures. In severe cases, it can be fatal. Therefore, it is essential to keep all forms of chocolate, such as bars, candies, and baked goods, away from dogs to ensure their safety and well-being.

Cells are the smallest unit of life and are responsible for carrying out all the necessary functions for an organism to survive and reproduce. Every animal, regardless of its size or complexity, is made up of cells. These cells work together to form tissues, organs, and organ systems, allowing animals to perform various functions such as digestion, respiration, and movement. Therefore, the statement that all animals have cells is true and is a fundamental characteristic shared by all animals.
