Where To Buy Dog Safe Chocolate For Halloween

Where to find dog safe chocolate so that your dog can safely poke his nose in the plastic pumpkin

Why is chocolate poisonous for dogs?

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both are harmful to dogs. These ingredients speed up their heart rate and overstimulate their nervous system.

It also contains phenylethylamine and formamide which your furry friend is unable to safely digest.

So what is the alternative?

Bring forth the magical Carob bean, which has no caffeine or theobromine.

Carob is native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. It grows in little pods on an evergreen tree unsurprisingly called a Carob tree.

Carob is much sweeter than sugar and comes in syrup and powder form.

It contains:

• Added vitamins such as B6

• Minerals

• Calcium

• Folic acid

• Magnesium

• Protein

• Fibre.

Carob is gluten free and has benefits for your dogs eye sight, digestive system, and nervous system whilst also fighting free radicals.

Choosing this dog safe chocolate alternative is a no-brainer but don’t overdo it, it is still only intended as a treat and too much can result in your pup having diarrhoea.
