Chocolate is synonymous with Easter but is dangerous for most pets to indulge in.

With this in mind, pet owners should make sure they keep any choccy treats out of reach of four-legged friends, but that doesn’t mean they have to miss out altogether.

To make sure that pets can be part of the celebrations too, Pets at Home has launched a range of Easter indulgences for dogs, cats and small animals.

Karen Heskin, Head of Pets at Pets at Home, said: “Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which can be toxic to pets.

“Even very small amounts can be dangerous because dogs, cats and other pets simply can’t digest these ingredients like we can, so it’s important to make sure you keep chocolate designed for humans well away from them.

“We know that pets are very much part of the family, so our pet-friendly treat range means they won’t be left out and can tuck into Easter snacks together along with everyone else.

“It’s worth remembering though, just like with any other treat, Easter goodies should be given in moderation as part of your pet’s daily calorie intake and as a reward for good behaviour.”
