Did you know? ❓Chocolate is actually of the most common toxins we see in the clinic! And it’s no joke. 🍫❌ Depending on the amount and type of chocolate (dark chocolate is the most dangerous), your dog could experience vomiting, diarrhea, a racing heart, seizures, or even worse. Sooo, If you see your dog eat chocolate, please don’t wait! The sooner we act, the better their chances of avoiding serious complications. At the clinic, we can safely induce vomiting to remove the chocolate from their stomach before it’s absorbed into their system. And if caught early (within 1-2 hours of ingestion), we can reduce the risk of toxicity dramatically. 💡 What to do if it happens: 1️⃣ Stay calm and call your vet or a 24/7 emergency clinic ASAP. 2️⃣ Be ready to share your dog’s weight, the type of chocolate, and how much was consumed. 3️⃣ Head to the clinic right away so we can start treatment. Remember, chocolate toxicity is an emergency, but with quick action, most dogs recover fully! 😊🩺❤️🐶
