Pets & Chocolate

Why we shouldn’t give our pets chocolate…
Most chocolate contains caffeine and cocoa as well as a naturally occurring stimulant called theobromine. The presence of theobromine and caffeine is what makes chocolate so dangerous for our pets!
- Never feed chocolate to your pets and make sure any children know not to do so.
- Keep all chocolate and chocolate products out of reach in high or locked cupboards.
- Be vigilant during Easter when there is likely to be lots of chocolate in the house.
- Avoid using gardening mulches that contain cocoa shell.
If your pet does eat some chocolate contact your vet immediately.
