Just a reminder not to give your dog chocolate over this holiday , it would be very easy for someone who is visting to give them a piece of their chocolate without knowing the reasons

Unless it is proper dog chocolate .....

    Good advice Husky, it is also a good idea to make sure your chocolate is out of reach of any dog.

    At Xmas my daughter and family went out for the day and one of the grandchildren had left a box of chocolates open. When they returned their dog had devoured at least a dozen of them including wrappers. Thankfully they were milk chocolates, as apparently
    dark chocolate is very toxic.

    After a day or so of ill health the dog fully recovered.

    12 Years ago our Bella ate eight chocolate eggs ( and foil ) when left in the van.

    Our dog opened, and ate three chocolate eggs (all milk) and left the foil neatly unwrapped, on the rug, as evidence!  She lived another ten years afterwards so it obviously didn't do her any harm.

    BUT I would still heed Huskydog's warning - chocolate is not good for dogs, and can even kill.
