The RSPCA is issuing a warning to pet owners that chocolate is toxic to dogs and can kill them.
Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine which is toxic to dogs, and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, convulsions and even death. Cocoa powder is the most toxic chocolate product, followed by dark and then milk chocolate.
The RSPCA would advise any pet owner to take their animal straight to a vet if they are worried about what their dog has eaten.
Agoraphobic Greyhound prepares for Battersea Old Windsor’s Easter Egg Hunt
A Greyhound that is petrified of the great outdoors is trying to be bold this Easter and challenge himself to Battersea Old Windsor’s Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday 5 April.
Four year old Patch has been in Battersea’s care for over 200 days – almost seven times longer than the average stay for a dog – and with his racing days behind him, he is now searching for a cracking family this Easter.
