Thank you for warning! My master regales me only very small piece of chocolate, or cookie in coffee, seldom , however .

I had a similar experience with my dachshund that I had years ago. I found him in the process of eating a pound of m&m’s. I called the vet immediately and the vet told me to give him a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. He vomited up all of the chocolate and was fine. Is this still okay to do as long as you catch them in the act?

I would also like to add the dangers of rawhide. Rawhide can be deadly as well for pets. Used primarily as a treat to stop chewing, owners are unaware that rawhide cannot be digested. It is usually made outside the USA where ingredients are not monitored. One ingredient is ARSENIC. This is widely used in South America, Thailand, China, etc. as a preservative. Would you like to chew on something that is treated with Arsenic? I have known several dogs who almost died from these rawhides. They are deadly DO NOT GIVE YOUR PETS RAWHIDE TREATS!! Thanks.

Dogs make great pets, but like small children, they must be supervised. I agree, if you receive a gift with unknown contents, think twice before putting it within your dog’s reach.
