Many pet owners are unaware of the risks to pets from eating chocolate. Chocolate contains an ingredient called "Theobromide" which dogs and cats cannot metabolise. It acts as a poison in
their system and if enough chocolate is consumed they may die.
This year another one in three cats and dogs will need
treatment for injuries or illnesses. Each of these pets will

Flea infestation is one of the most common health problems

rather than to wait and treat an illness that may be more
advanced later on.

Prepared pet foods have played a key role in this.
