Come on, Fred- I bet you can't beg for a choc-drop?! I don't normally get involved in such trivia- Come on, Fred- lovely big choc-drop- up! But it does look very tempting! On this occasion I shall rise to the challenge! Well done, Fred!

We’ve been through this before. Just a couple of weeks or so ago. Was nobody paying attention? In the UK, we can buy non-toxic ‘choc-drops’ for dogs. We’ve been doing it for decades.

I can’t believe that carob ‘choc drops’ aren’t available in the US too. If so, we’re missing a huge potential export market – and the existence of special dog chocolate also helps educate people that normal chocolate should be kept away from dogs. (though honestly, how many people don’t know this nowadays? Along with onions, grapes… what else?)
Actually, the amount of cocoa in a couple of normal milk chocolate buttons is unlikely to harm your dog – our 12kg dachshund found and ate a quarter of a Terry’s Milk Chocolate Orange but this was well under the danger limit, he suffered no ill effects at all (worried the heck out of us till we’d done the calculations and confirmed them with the vet). But a bar of good quality plain chocolate would be a different matter – we keep our stash of 85% well out of his reach at all times.
