If I was walking around with a double Mars bar in my pocket, the odds are good I'd eat it all myself

 

This the stuff you're looking for FH?

Had lurchers for 38yrs never poisoned one yet it works a treat unless your dog is working that hard you need to give it a box full

i buy a pink electrolyte off my greyhound vet can be watered right down and still very efective brilliant stuff its made for sheep and cattle but works exactly the same on running dogs and half the price of greyhound stuff .

I might have this wrong but I think dark chocolate is worse for them. Chocolate is toxic to dogs but a little bite doesn't usually harm them. If, say, they pinched your box of fancy Thorntons or a bar of high percentage cocoa and gobbled the lot, you'd have a problem.

 

I've seen dogs in the vet who consumed large amounts of chocolate and they were very poorly indeed.

 

I don't even share my choclate with my kids, never mind the dogs

don,t no why the lad needs electrolytes i use it with the pure breds ,lurchers second cross or not don,t ,a bit of glucose if they have been run ragged with a levret or a massive bunny bashing session is all they need .once had a match with a very good dog on the lamp the night before we went my lurcher ate 8 easter eggs foil and all .anyway in my wisdom i ran the match ,my bitch had 3 hares and 38 rabbits and my ex mates bitch had 41 rabbits and 5 hares ,don,t think it was the chocolate just got beat by a better dog
