Your dog settles beside you for a cuddle, opens their mouth and suddenly you’re wishing they had chosen the other end of the sofa. If that sounds familiar, you might be looking for something that helps with their smelly breath without adding another complicated job to your day.

Humans love chocolate, so, it can be easy to forget how dangerous it can be for dogs. As tempting as it is to sneak the pooch a square of chocolate, especially when they give ‘the puppy eyes’, even a small amount should be avoided to be on the safe side. At best, a toxic amount of chocolate can cause vomiting and diarrhoea, but at worst it can lead to seizures and even be fatal. “Chocolate can be highly toxic for dogs and can cause both short and long term health problems” says James Whitten, the Marketing Manager at petGuard.

This normally depends on the breed, and there is tons of
