We really should be aware of what could be good and bad for our pets. We should treat them just like humans. Good thing you shared us some trivias for us to be knowledgeable of these things.

chocolate is really dangerous - the darker the more dangerous you only need a few grammes.

That is just so sad. To lose one dog is bad enough but to lose 2 is devestating.

Sorry for your loss

This Poinsettia has the same symptons as Peach seeds which also have Strychnine I have seen a dog almost die the same way you described it through eating a peach seed.

someone told me about grapes a while ago and I never knew that one but are sultanas still bad or have they lost whatever makes them bad in the drying process?
I ask because all our family dogs have always been fed pills hidden inside sultanas and it's never had side effects.

If you suspect your dog is ill then contact a veterinary

Take Care!!!

Just picked up on this one, I knew chocolate was bad for dogs but not all of these other items. Printing the list off and will keep with the other important documents we carry round the shows! Thanks DT
