BEWARE OF CHOCOLATE – this contains a substance called ‘theobromine’ which is toxic to all dogs. All chocolate and chocolate powders contain the substance. Some chocolate contains more than others. (Doggy choc drops are entirely different and are safe for your dog). IF YOUR DOG MANAGES TO EAT A QUANTITY OF CHOCOLATE CONTACT YOUR VET.
COCOA SHELL MULCH – used as a weed inhibitor and available from garden centres, is irresistible to some dogs, it is basically chocolate.
RAISING OR GRAPES – these can kill!
