'We are always so careful': Couple's warning to other owners after pet dog rushed to emergency vets
Vets have issued a warning to pet owners as they brace themselves for a surge in cases of pets poisoned by chocolate this Easter.

Bertie, meanwhile, was whimpering in discomfort and had a noticeably swollen stomach.
“It was a big, big bowl of chocolates and he ate his way through the whole thing, except for a few toffee pennies and strawberry creams which he turned his nose up – which is proof I suppose that dogs are like humans and there’ll always be something left over that no-one likes!” “But with Easter coming up I’m conscious there’s going to be a lot of chocolate lying around in people’s houses. And the sincere advice I’d give any other owners is please get help from a vet straightaway if your dog does get hold of some.”
