A dog mischievous unzipped its owner s handbag and ate an entire tub of hot chocolate - before ending up at the vets.
White Cross Vets in Eccleshill treats hundreds of pets who have accidentally ingested something harmful. Vet Anita Fox said: “Around Christmas time all sorts of extra treats come into the home – from tasty Christmas cakes to mince pies, chocolate, nuts, extra alcohol and joints of meat – so it’s really important to make sure these are kept out of reach of curious pets. “We have treated dogs who have scaled baby gates, opened doors, ripped open foody gifts from under the tree or jumped up on kitchen surfaces to get hold of festive food.” One dog, nine-year-old Brann the boxer, who belongs to a vet at White Cross Vets, ate an entire tin of hot chocolate.
