🐰 Why Easter Chocolate is Dangerous for Dogs – and What to Give Instead
Easter is a time of celebration, chocolate, and family gatherings.
But for our four-legged friends, Easter can be a risky time, especially when it comes to chocolate treats left within paw’s reach.
At Antler Chew, we want every dog to enjoy the Easter weekend safely. Here’s what you need to know – and the perfect dog-friendly alternative to make this Easter one to remember.
🍫 Why Chocolate is Dangerous for Dogs
Chocolate contains two ingredients that are toxic to dogs: theobromine and caffeine.
Even small amounts can cause serious health issues such as:
-
Vomiting
-
Diarrhoea
-
Rapid heart rate
-
Seizures
-
In extreme cases, chocolate poisoning can be fatal.
Dark chocolate and cocoa powder are the most dangerous, but milk chocolate and white chocolate can still cause problems depending on the amount eaten and your dog’s size.
🚨 Important: Contact your vet immediately if your dog has eaten chocolate.
🐾 Safe Alternatives for Your Dog’s Easter Treats
Because chocolate is off the menu doesn’t mean your pup has to miss out on the fun!
There are many safe and healthy alternatives to spoil your dog this Easter – and at the top of the list are natural antler chews.
Why Antler Chews Are the Perfect Easter Gift:
-
🦴 Long-lasting – Keeps your dog entertained while you're enjoying your Easter roast.
-
🌿 Natural and mess-free – No additives, no nasties.
-
🦷 Great for dental health – Helps clean teeth and massage gums.

Plus, your dog will love the satisfaction of chewing – it taps into their natural instincts and provides hours of mental stimulation.
