It's surprising that antifreeze is not on this list. I suppose because it is not as commonly found in households but it is just as enticing and deadly to dogs.
I have a question about chocolate...if the dog has any contact with chocolate should we contact a doctor ASAP?
I am not a vet but it is my experience that if you dog ingests cholocolate that it is best to contact your vet for advice.
