[Ansteorra] MUNDANE DOG SAFETY

Unfortunately, what most people don't realize is that chocolate, actually
the cocoa butter in chocolate, is a cumulative toxin. One bite won't kill
Fido, but a bite every day will eventually. Watch the cocoa butter in other
food and lotions too.

My uncle is a vet, and as his assistant for awhile I learned that chocolate
is not only harmful to dogs, but can be quite toxic and deadly to most.

I am glad to hear your little one is fine.
