The incident is alleged to have taken place earlier this month after he split from his girlfriend and she told him to leave the house they shared in Hollywood.
A statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney's office read: "Diatchenko skinned the pet, cooked it and ate half of it while sending her step-by-step pictures of what he did.
"When she returned, the defendant allegedly told her he would do the same to her."
The actor, who has also appeared in ‘Bones’, ‘CSI:Miami’, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and ‘Two Broke Girls’, faces up to four years and eight months in prison if convicted.
Diatchenko was free on bail. His manager, Barry Bookin, declined comment.
