🎄🐾 Keep Chocolate Out of Paw’s Reach This Christmas & New Year 🍫🚫
Meet Bonnie, who managed to eat 3 Terry’s Chocolate Orange balls from a parcel 😱 After an emergency vet visit and treatment, she’s luckily made a full recovery 💕
During the festive season, chocolate is everywhere, gifts, stockings, parcels, and visitors’ bags. While tasty for us, chocolate is dangerous for dogs and poisoning is far more common at this time of year.
🍫 Chocolate contains theobromine, which dogs can’t process. Even small amounts can be toxic, especially dark chocolate.
🚨 If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, contact your vet immediately.
🐾 Keep dogs safe by:
• Storing chocolate well out of reach
• Warning people when sending chocolate in the post
• Keeping dogs away from deliveries
• Offering dog-safe treats
From all of us at East Sussex Osteopaths, we wish your whole family, people and pets, a safe and healthy festive season ✨🐶
