This is hungry, handsome, Hank! This cheeky young man gave his owner a scare by eating 200g of chocolate!🍫
We all love a sweet treat, but for our dogs, chocolate can be toxic (and sometimes life-threatening). The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is, but all chocolate is unsafe for dogs.
⚠️ Even small amounts can cause:
- Vomiting & diarrhoea
- Restlessness or hyperactivity
- Rapid heart rate
- Seizures
👉 If your dog eats chocolate, don’t wait for symptoms, call us immediately!
Here’s what we do at the clinic to help:
1️⃣ We give an injection to safely make your dog vomit up the chocolate (or whatever they ate that they shouldn't have)
2️⃣ We monitor while the medication wears off naturally, allowing your dog time to stop vomiting and settle down.
3️⃣ Your dog then goes home with activated charcoal, which helps absorb any toxins left behind.
Let’s keep our furry friends safe🐾
