By Kermit Elmoow


For dog owners around the world, they love their dogs like they were human beings. It's never a shame for them; they'll love them until the very end. They'll buy those toys, buy them food and buy them treats. They'll play with them, sleep with them and chill with them. They show their love in ways they can. So for them, it must be a wise decision to give their dogs some good old' chocolate on Valentine's Day. They think, "Don't worry! Just a little chocolate wouldn't hurt" Well, there's still a debate going on about giving dogs chocolate. But before you go rush to your favorite chocolate shop for a gift, take a good look at the things people know so far about dogs and chocolate.

Contrary to popular belief, chocolates won't kill dogs. You can actually give dogs a small amount of chocolate. But not so fast. Keep the previous sentence in mind: small amount. There's a toxic ingredient in chocolate that can be harmful for a dog. If you give him a bucket, he'll be going bananas. But if you give just a small amount, it's fine. Let's hope it doesn't happen to your dog; some dogs have died due to chocolate poisoning. This is related to no.1. While it's not bad feeding dogs chocolate at small amounts, there's a small chance the chocolate you'll give will kill the dog.

Following the checkup on your dog's history, you'll need to see the ingredient list. See if the ingredients include things that your dog can't consume. If a dog food has this kind of ingredient, take it out of your grocery list. For the sake of your dog's health, it's better that way. Eliminate the bad, keep the good. When you're looking for dog food, you'll notice different brands and types everywhere. So what kind should you get? Here's a sub-list of dog foods you'll find in stores.

If you really can't resist giving your dog chocolates on the day of Valentines' it's best if you give them just small amounts. Maybe just a little piece of Hershey's or a handful of M&M's will do. Just always make sure it's small and keep them that way. So, should you or should you not buy chocolates? It depends. But the best advice is either you don't buy them or buy them but only in small quantities. You can show your love to your dog in many ways but when it comes down to buying chocolate for them to show love, take precautions and show them love in another, un-harmful way.

So if you want to keep your dog's health in tip top shape, get the best kind of dog food.
