No human chocolate for dogs this Easter

Well it’s just one week off Easter and as usual I’m being torn apart by my love for chocolate on one hand and my desire to lose weight on the other.  Still, it won’t stop me eating at least one Easter egg next Sunday!

As I highlighted last year, I feel the need to remind people that dogs should never be given human chocolate no matter how much those puppy eyes stare at you, willing you to give them some.

Particularly those who are new to dog ownership, they often don’t read up on dogs in general so might not know but human chocolate contains a poison to dogs.  At best, they might get a stomach ache and at worst they could die.  It actually doesn’t take much chocolate to kill a dog.  If your dog ingests some by mistake, get him straight to the vet – and if you really have to give him something whilst you eat yours, get down to the local pet shop and buy some special doggie chocolate.
