You may be surprised at how many of your clients are still not aware of the dangers of chocolate to their pets. There is going to be lots of chocolate around over the next few days, and let’s face it, for many, the chocolate fiesta has already started!
I’ve shared several of the posts below on the Vetanswers Facebook Page, and they’ve been incredibly popular. To try and get the message seen by as many of your followers as possible, it could be a good idea to schedule these a couple of days apart and at different times over the next week or so.
This is a great blog post from Dr Alex Avery (Our Pets Health) that includes a very detailed Chocolate Poisoning Calculator that takes into account the varying types of chocolate e.g. standard dark (35% cocoa) right up to dark (70% cocoa).

After a career in HR working in a range of service industries and teaching at TAFE for several years, I then (somewhat accidentally) found myself in the veterinary industry and here I’ve stayed because I love the people and what they do. I created the Vetanswers Community to provide the support, resources and solutions to help our members build happy, successful, profitable businesses and careers.
