such a sad thing to happen
i think parents of young curious children should also be very wary of this product |

how awful it REALLY should have a warning, and the shop assistants should be made aware of this so they can ask the customer at the till if they have a dog or a cat and tell them the dangers that come with the product.
it must have been awful just going out for a normal walk and having your what you thought was a healthy dog die there and then infront of you. |

This is dreadful, i feel for the family.
Chocolate is also very bad for dogs, i have seen so many cases over the years (when i was in practice) where a dog has got hold of chocolate and died! it does vary though, a yorkie for instance could eat a whole big bar of chocolate and be fine, except bad d++++ and then a great dane could have a few chocs and die very quickly. A family friend lost their dog (labrador) in this way after eating a box of dairy milk it's so sad and somthing people really should be aware of!!!

I did too. It was me and my mums (ClareN) dog groomer who told us the story. Though, its good that your warning everybody and maybe saving dogs from danger. Also, any contact with snails or slugs can kill a dog. (No licking, or eating a bone which they have slimed on). I just thought I would let you know. It was in a newspaper 2008 or 2009 early summer.
