🎃🍫 Halloween Candy Safety🐾

Halloween is full of spooky fun, costumes, and LOTS of candy — but what’s a treat for us can be dangerous for our four-legged family members. 👻

🍫 Why is chocolate dangerous?
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which dogs cannot process as efficiently as humans. The darker and more concentrated the chocolate, the greater the risk. Baking chocolate, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate are especially dangerous. Smaller dogs can also be at risk from smaller amounts.

🚨 Signs of chocolate toxicity may include:
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Increased thirst or urination
• Restlessness, hyperactivity, or agitation
• Panting or an increased heart rate
• Abnormal heart rhythm
• Muscle tremors
• Seizures
• In severe cases, chocolate poisoning can be life-threatening.

🎃 PREVENTION IS KEY!
✔️ Keep candy bowls, trick-or-treat bags, and chocolate safely out of your pet’s reach.
✔️ Remind children not to share Halloween candy with pets.
✔️ Store candy in a closed cabinet or container — not on a countertop your pet can reach.
✔️ Don’t assume a small amount is harmless. The risk depends on the type and amount of chocolate as well as your dog’s size.
✔️ Check labels! Sugar-free candy may contain xylitol, which is also extremely dangerous to dogs.

🚨 THINK YOUR DOG ATE CHOCOLATE? DON’T WAIT FOR SYMPTOMS.

Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away. Have the candy wrapper/package available so your veterinary team can determine what was eaten, approximately how much, and what type of chocolate was involved. Do not induce vomiting or give your pet anything unless directed to do so by a veterinary professional.
