Do you know that Chocolate is toxic to your pet?

Do not feed your pet any chocolate as it contains theobromine and caffeine - both toxic substances that interfere with the body's central nervous systems and affect the heart and kidneys. It could lead to seizures, coma, heart arrhythmia, hyperthermia, and ultimately, death.

Contact your vet immediately if your pet shows the following signs after chocolate consumption: vomitting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, increased urination and restlessness in the early stage; lack of coordination, muscle twitching, hyperactivity, increased heart rate or raised blood pressure warrant urgent medical attention.
