Chocolate a no-no for dogs!
You can have a chocolate dog, but please don't give chocolate to your dogs! EVER! Chocolate is bad for dogs. It can even kill them. For real.
So this Halloween, feel free to dress your dog up but keep the candy to yourself. (Speaking of dressing up your dog, be sure to check out the winners of our Costume ComPETition right here on this blog! See dogs as pirates, bananas, bumblebees and other zany characters. Cats joined the contest, too. Unwillingly, of course.)
For more information on why chocolate is a no-no for Fido and what the signs are of chocolate toxicity, follow this link: Leave Chocolate out of Rover's Celebrations by the Center for Veterinary Medicine.
Have a happy and dog-healthy Halloween!
