Dog owners urged to do these key things this Christmas to prevent disaster

ok.co.uk:

The festive period is in full swing and households across the UK are getting ready for Christmas Day. Decorations have gone up and plenty of festive treats have been purchased, as people get ready to celebrate the best time of the year.

While Christmas is a joyous time for most, there is still many things to keep in mind during the festive season, especially if you're a dog owner.

A warning has been issued to those with dogs at home this Christmas, as it's been revealed that one in five dogs have mistakenly eaten chocolate, in a survey conducted by Insure Your Paws - a specialist pet insurance provider.

Chocolate contains theobromine, which can lead to severe poisoning or even death in dogs. With Christmas typically being a time to indulge in sweet treats, pet owners have been urged to be vigilant and keep chocolate goods out of reach from their furry friends.
