Remember your Easter chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats.

Make sure you keep all your Easter treats away from your furry friends. Chocolate is highly toxic to dogs and cats and should never be given to them.

And although they might like it’s delicious sweetness it can can be fatal – so it is best to keep it away from them completely.  If your pet has eaten any chocolate and you notice any of the following: restlessness, excitement, hyperactivity, nervousness, trembling, vomiting, diarrhoea; increased drinking and increased urination; increased heart rate, muscle tremors, seizures please call a vet straight away.

If you do want to spoil your dog this Easter we do have some delicious new treats that are high protein, low salt and way tastier to dogs! We currently have Salmon and Roo available.

Read more information about the negative effects of chocolate on your pets from the RSPCA and please call us immediately if your dog or cat has managed to eat any of your Easter chocolate before you can.
