A sad story
A colleague of my wife returned home from work on Wednesday evening, to find her 4 year old Cocker Spaniel had died. The previous evening the dog had stollen Chocolate. They didn’t think it was that serious and didn’t contact the Vet. We had a similar incident with a dog about 10 years ago. The vet met my wife in the car park so that they start treatment immediately. Fortunately our dog made a full recovery. But don’t delay if you think that your dog has eaten chocolate in any quantity please call your vet.

In our case the dog got hold of the Easter eggs, my wife had gone out for no more than 10 minutes. The dog ate about 3x the lethal dose. What saved the dog was quick treatment by the vet at the fact that the dog ate the eggs and if I remember correctly 12 rocky bars foil and all. So slowed down the adsorption.

There was a report recently of Sainsburys doing a promotion by sending chocolate through the post, and unfortunately someone's dog had eaten the envelope and the chocolate. Fortunately the dog survived, but I'm sure there are many dog owners who don't realise just how dangerous chocolate is for many dogs.

It is also worth bearing in mind with Christmas just around the corner, that any chocolate decorations on Christmas trees, advent calender's and presents and gifts stacked around the base of a tree are hard to resist by our four legged friends if within their reach
