can i ask how can i change my signin in name? i know nothin 2 do with dogs bt worth a try?
you have to re-register. if you want to change your ID
Just register under a different name, you will need another e mail address as well though.
Human chocolate contains theobromine which is very poisonous to dogs. A small box of chocolates was enough to kill a Westie dog recently. Dark chocolate is worse. Doggy chocs have the theobromine taken out.
Gawd knows how my little git of a dog survived eating 3 boxes of Thorntons from under the tree last Crimble then!
I've known 2 dogs to die from eating chocolate, one a Yorkie and the other a Lab so it's definitely a NO NO. One of the problems is, the symptoms often don't show for up to 12 hrs after so if your dog has eaten chocolate get it to the vet, theobromine can kill. The Lab who died only ate a 200grm bar! Gelda
i had a working cocker spaniel who ate all my easter eggs one year includung most of the foil - he was fine... he also ate a lot of other things too. he lived till the ripe old age of 14 & a half...
theobromine is also poisonous to humans, but we need a much higher dose than dogs to cause us any ill effect.

Even though many dogs eat chocolate without any side effects, do you want to take the chance that yours will be the one that it kills?
