Chocolate and Dogs
Did you know…chocolate can be harmful or even deadly to pets?

Depending on the form involved, chocolate can contain high amounts of fat and caffeine-like substances known as methylxanthines. If ingested in significant amounts, chocolate can potentially produce clinical effects ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to panting, excessive thirst and urination, hyperactivity, abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures and even death in severe cases.

Typically, the darker the chocolate, the higher the potential for clinical problems from methylxanthine poisoning. White chocolate has the lowest methylxanthine content, while baking chocolate contains the highest. As little as 20 ounces of milk chocolate, or only two ounces of baking chocolate can cause serious problems in a 10-pound dog. While white chocolate may not have the same potential as darker forms to cause a methylxanthine poisoning, the high fat content of lighter chocolates could still lead to vomiting and diarrhea, as well as the possible development of life-threatening pancreatitis, an inflammatory condition of the pancreas.

If you suspect that your pet may have ingested a product or substance containing chocolate, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (1-888-426-4435) for immediate assistance.

It offers a ton of info on spay/neuter and even has an assistance program to get low cost spay/neutering to low-income pet owners!

I get all of Lucy's collars from Elmo's Closet (http://www.elmoscloset.com) . They have a really good selection of fabrics and the prices are reasonable. They can also go in the wash & she only charges $1 for shipping! FWIW, Lucy the pug wears a Medium.

www.petedge.com -- I buy professional-grade grooming products here, including greyhound combs and a cordless clipper with different attachments.
