I had a chocolate lab years ago who ate 6 Reese’s peanut butter eggs wrapper and all. He ended up throwing them all up and thankfully didn’t need a vet visit. When we told a friend about what the dog had done his response was “there’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s”
When I was a teenager living with my parents we had a dog unwrap a Christmas present from under the tree and that box of chocolate killed her. As an adult coming home from the grocery store I left a bag of groceries in the kitchen and went out to the garage to get another and in that time Levi opened a cake box and ate the chocolate frosting off the top. I was on the doggie poison center hotline and he turned out okay. The operator told me that from what I read off the box there wasn’t a whole lot of cocoa in the frosting (mostly fake stuff) and given his size a trip to the vet wasn’t necessary but to watch him really close. it sure was scary how quickly dogs can get sick on Chocolate.
Makes me think of when Blue ate that woolen sock and needed exploratory surgery. Luckily I worked at the vet at the time and I had many kind people help me. 😉 xoxoxo
For sure. The most expensive part of having a pet is the vet bills. We need to keep all dangerous edibles away from our pets!
Yes!
The Easter bunny was a bit devilish to tempt the pooch like that!!! I read that carob “chocolate” is healthy for pets.
Thanks. 🙂

😀 I’m glad he didn’t need to go to the vet, expensive and no fun for the pup.
ha ha and the dad looks like he has been eating a lot of chocolate easter eggs. vet bills are as much as people bills and sometimes more.
I know. 🙁
As I’m sure Kaitlin and Torben can attest, keeping 2 dogs healthy isn’t inexpensive. Fortunately, that’s one bill I don’t mind paying.
Zoe in particular is expensive because she needs special enzymes in all of the food she eats. But as you say, she’s worth it.

That’s so sad about the first pup…I’m glad that Levi was all right, and that you had the poison center hotline there for you.
