Omg
How awful do I feel !!
After being at home hosting all over Christmas DH booked us a meal out this afternoon. With our two fur babies KCC .
Last minute DH decided let’s not take the Fir babies .
Left home at 4pm
Arrived back at 6pm
To the sight of discarded chocolate wrappers ‼️🍫🍫🍫
A crate of Christmas gifts 🎁 ( ours) that had been sat there since CD .
They had eaten 2 chocolate santas
1 whole box of Dark Chocolate Gin Creams (yuck)
.
By 6:08 I had called vets .
Which is where they are now .
We aren’t silly irresponsible dog owners.
How worried am I sitting here waiting outside the vets while my fur babies have been injected to make them sick 🤢

For the record - just exactly HOW poisonous is chocolate to dogs?
Is it really a poison, or just 'bad' for them?
Are any of our members vets and able to tell us?

ps - please be kind to OP, we all make mistakes.

My daughter's dog chewed through an awful lot of Curly Whirlies (sp?) while I was looking after him. Panic - I rang the vet, who asked what make the sweets were. He laughed and said not to worry - there isn't much real chocolate in Cadbury's, and he will probably be sick quite soon - which he was.

My daughter’s friend saw a small white protrusion from her labarador’s bottom. She gently pulled it then pulled it some more. It was an entire Tesco carrier bag!

Was it a lifetime bag?

Many years ago we went off to a carol service leaving our Dandie Dinmont terrier home alone. We came back to find she had found, unwrapped and eaten not only an entire box of Milk Tray, but also the box and wrappers as well! Perhaps the cardboard diluted the effects of the chocolate, but she wasn't even sick and lived to a ripe old age.

We always own terriers, clever tiny terrorists.
