And after successfully landing on the forbidden table, sixteen-month-old Bertie got stuck into his feast, wolfing down many of the chocolates with the wrappers still on.
By the time Claire and her partner Luke got home they were greeted by a scene of devastation. Dog-chewed wrappers and dozens of half-eaten chocolates were strewn around the living room.Poor Bertie, meanwhile, was whimpering in discomfort and had a noticeably swollen stomach.
Knowing how poisonous chocolate can be for dogs – and amazed by the sheer quantity Bertie had got through – Claire rang Vets Now. And a couple of minutes later, she, Luke and Bertie were on their way to our 24-hour pet emergency hospital in Manchester.
Our staff rushed Bertie in and gave him medicine to make him sick and stop the chocolates from settling in his system.
