Thank you very much for all the response. Actually, my husband has started to give them more since the ice cream shop started to give us a scoop just for them. So thank to you, we now give them a very small amount (an empty cup to lick).
Valentine's Day Chocolate and my son (3 at the time) is what killed my terrier. It was horrible. When my oldest (8 at the time) told my little guy that he killed the dog I thought I was going to die, so I said no mommy killed the dog. Now of course they remind me everytime they have any candy by saying, "don't forget no candy to the dogs, remember that's how mommy killed Cleo". Yeah chocolate will kill your dog if they get too much, be careful.
How awful!!
I too have heard that onions are not good for dogs.
Nice to meet another sheltie owner! Our shelties will steal anything as soon as we turn our backs. And even when we don't. They're very bold - and very fast!
Other then coffee the Sheltie [Maxwell] doen't steal anything......The Eskimo however [Missy] is another thing she steals my wifes carkeys and hides them under the bed.[her own PRIVATE] apartment.]
I dont think that is true. I think it would be Dangerous in Large amounts. I have always given my Dogs a little piece here and there and it has never bothered them but never in large amounts. Even a little makes them need to go outside.............
I don't think it's the actual amount of chocolate that's the problem, but a particular chemical in the cocoa that's poisonous. a dog could survive after eating a a Hershey's bar but possibly keel over after eating the exact same amount of bittersweet cocoa.
my aunt's dog (a 20lb+ cocker spaniel mix) died in the 90's after it got into the pure, unsweetened chocolate may aunt kept in the pantry (She's a cook and prefers to add her own amount of milk and sweetener to the chocolate). the dog only ate a small chunk (smaller than a deck of cards if I remember correctly), but died that evening in her sleep.

Stop feeding them chocolate. It's bad for them in any dose. It's "deadly" in large doses.
Great list. I guess I have to cut off my pooches daily treats of joints and cigarettes. There not going to be happy!
