No chocolates, grapes and raisins....for DOGS!

Chocolate contains Theobromine, a chemical that is toxic to dogs.
Chocolate toxicity is dose-dependent.
This means that it varies according to individual sensitivity, animal size, type of chocolate, and amount of chocolate ingested.Chocolate toxicity potentially causes:
- excitement
- nervousness
- restlessness
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- muscle spasm
- seizures
- increased thirst
- increased urination
- increased heart rate
- heart rhythm abnormalities
- coma, death

Grapes and raisins can cause toxic reactions in dogs.
The toxicity is also dose-dependent. The exact mechanism is still unknown.
Grape and raisin toxicity causes gastrointestinal upsets first then progresses to sudden kidney failure and death.Signs include:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- anorexia
- lethargy
- depression
- abdominal pain
- tremors
- increased urination and increased drinking.

Hence, it is safest not to feed your dog any amount of chocolate, grapes or raisins.
Should your dog ingest any of the above, you need to contact your vet immediately.
