Vets have seen a surge of almost 27% from 2007 to 2008 in the number of dogs falling ill after eating chocolate with 1,166 cases being reported. Many people don’t realise that human chocolate is now one of the most common toxins to dogs. Good Boy Choc does not contain Cocoa and is a perfectly safe tasty treat for dogs and is the best selling dog choc brand in the UK.
