Dog & Chocolate don't mix !

Have a Safe & Happy Easter!

We hope you are all enjoying Easter and have Lot's of yummy chocolate eggs to munch on, but a serious point to remember is that chocolate is poisonous to dog's, so when they are looking at you with those cute soppy doggie eye's please don't be tempted to give in & share those chocolate eggs with him!

Why is chocolate dangerous for dog's!

Chocolate contains theobromine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in the cocoa bean, although different brands of chocolate contain different levels of theoromine, it is the theobromine found in chocolate that is poisonous to dog's, if a dog consumes enough theobromine then they will start to display symptoms of theobromine poisoning!

 Symptoms of Theobromine Poisoning!

Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhoea, trembling, muscel twitching, excessive thirst, restlessness, frequent urination!



It can be fatal, so if you suspect your dog has Theobromine poisoning please contact your veterinarian immediately.

A Safe Alternative!

You can buy a safe 'doggie' chocolate that is made from carob, available from most pet stores.


Keep your dog safe this Easter!
