What to do if your pet eats chocolate

Dogs are known for eating things they are not suppose to. They have an excellent sense of smell and can  find our Easter eggs quite easily if given the slightest opportunity. 
This Easter, remember that chocolate is a killer! Ensure that all Easter eggs are kept out of reach of your dogs and cats.
If you find your pet has managed to eat some chocolate, there are a few steps you will need to take:
1. Act quickly! Remove any more chocolate from your pets' reach immediately.
2. Call your local or 24 hour emergency veterinarian. They will want to know the weight of your pet and approximately how much and what type of chocolate your pet has eaten.
3. Transport your pet to the vet immediately for examination. The vet will then advise you of what treatment is required for your individual pet.
