๐ซHappy International Chocolate Day!๐ซ + Special Announcement!๐
While we enjoy indulging in delicious chocolate treats, it's important to remember that chocolate is dangerous for our furry friends. Dogs are particularly at risk, as even small amounts can cause serious health issues. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to dogs and can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and even seizures.
To learn more about the dangers of chocolate for dogs, check out this informative article from the VCA: [VCA article on Chocolate Toxicity "Chocolate Poisoning in Dogs"](https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/chocolate-poisoning-in-dogs).
Let's keep our pets safe while we celebrate! If you suspect your dog has ingested chocolate, contact your vet immediately!
