Got in from shopping earlier to find the dog had found and my chocolate selection box, thats 8 bars of choc, caramel, fruit and nut etc, complete with wrappers. Cue an emergency visit to the vets, relieving me of £70 for them to give him a shot and make him throw his guts up, which was done quite a few times, in the vets, in their reception, in the car park, the car and at home. How he managed to get the choc I don't know, was well hidden and out of his reach, or so I thought. So now have 1 very sorry looking mutt, poor boy just moping around now.

 

That'll learn him

 

does he like scoobys aswell

 

It always makes me laugh when they say dogs are clever and they do thigns like this

Nightmare mate choclate is gone and also got nice bill form vet double hit least the pooch is ok

 

see my dogs brite she managed to grab a packet of choc buttons from a table twice as high of her, and somehow open them then eat them all and left the wrapper by the bin.

bless her:

 

Seeing as chocolate is poisonous to dogs, he's quite lucky. Thick fooker hasn't learnt tho, just opened a bar of choc, he heard the packet rustle and appeared next to me...

 

lil fooker

Mine ate a whole birthday cake once

 

I think our dog has eaten so much chocolate now she's immune...there's a few times she's had a bit too much and thought it wasn't good...but nothing...

Mind you our old dog ate a whole box of chocolate ice lollies plus the sticks and we never knew until the sticks came out whole the other end...

 

My dog used to do the same - silly basitd

My cats are sneaky fookers tho - they go hunting everywhere if there's the chance they might scavenge something

Since it's xmas there's constantly meats being taken in and out of fridge etc, and they have learnt the sound the plastic bag and tinfoil make and associated it with turky or beef etc...

They weren't amused this eve tho when I pulled out my birthday cake, took the bag off it to cut some, and three cats appeared at my feet. I showed em what it was, they turned their noses up and fooked off

 

My dogs fookin love chocolate, eat it every day have done for last ten years got no teeth though I have a spaniel that one day ate most of the soap powder was all over his face! He is also fond of eating horse shit when he is out! They have eaten all sorts over the years stomachs of steel

 

Buster's usual delicacies include snails, cat shit and the chewing of socks to get the cheesy taste... The shot they gave him tho, vets had a bowl of biscuits on the floor, he had a look, had a sniff and heaved his guts all over them!

 

CHOCOLATE KILLS DOGS FACT, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

 

Since September, said mutt has cost me around £400 in emergency vet fee's, all due to him eating anything he can get his paws on, from 12 bird feed fat balls to todays choc session. Only 1 of them wasn't his fault, he has a kind of asthma, had to rush him up for a steroid jab cos he couldn't breathe. Think its about time I got him insured.....

 

Like I gave it to him on purpose, try reading above, already knew that so piss off!

 

glad your dogs ok

i only found out recently that cocolate is poisous to dogs ..not that mine got much anyway..only a little corner off a buiscuit occasionally as i,m not a big choc eater...but none for them now

 

 

Its not good for them (milk choclate) BUT DARK CHOCLATE is the killer to them

My 2 staffie eat half my work glove (proper welding type) and it had grease fuel from when i fill the lorry op you name it and they eat half it

 

this is totally true!!! HONEST!!

an old couple in our road had 2 staffordshire bull's

and they took them to a big field where dog people go and let them have a run around and one of em came back with a piece of barbed wire hanging out there mouth!! and apparently the vet said he couldnt do anything so the barbed wire would just have to go through the dog normally.. and it did but the dog then couldnt shit the barbed wire and it had a piece sticking out its arse for days

 

If anybody wants to feed their mutts chocolate, FFS buy the chocolate specially formulated for dogs from pet stores.

All chocolate, whether milk or dark contains Theobromine which is highly toxic to dogs, because they are unable to metabolise the chemical effectively. The chocolate made for dogs is safe.

 

my dog done that this year but he opens the wrappers first

as soon as we went out he went looking under tree we didnt know was choc under there

 

Glad to hear your dog is ok now ST24Lad
Poor lil thing having to chuck up like that, but hey maybe he will learn never to do it again! Although your out of pocket a lil bit well worth the £70 to save his life ay

Dogs do & will try to eat the strangest of things! Mine when he was lil out on walkies picked up a disposable razor from some bins left out When I found it in his mouth there was only a orange handle left, no blades to be found at all, I panicked like you wouldn't believe, searching his mouth, but no blood,,,,but still couldn't find the blades anywhere!?! Rushed him to the vets,,,,,,,,and they had to x-ray him! Yep he had eatern both of them & also bitten them in half so when the vets come out & told me there was now 4 in his tummy I just sat back & cried!!

After a hooge operation & £1400 later,,,,,,his all better!! Insurance paid out also so in the end only cost me £50 for the excess!!

For anyone that owns any pets,,,,,do get them insured, its not alot & hopefuly your never use it,,,but its always there just in case

Well fair play you learn something everyday though. Never know Chocolate was bad for Dogs

 

The misses sisters dog got hold of a few selection boxes over xmas lucky shes ok.

Glad the dogs ok

 

This post just reminded me to get my dog insured ..Its cheaper to insure my house ..done it via Healthy Pets and it worked out the best by far for me

Glad yours is ok

 

our old mongrel (rip) once ate a box of ferrero rochers at xmas. left all the wrappers to.
