Dogs, Chocolate and Charcoal

Dogs, Chocolate & Activated Charcoal Every year around the holidays there is a high demand for chocolate. We indulge in it, use it for baking and so forth, but although darker chocolates are being touted as health food for people, it is not healthy for dogs. Jill and her husband Jim, just stopped in at Charcoal House the other day to pick up stocking stuffers and she reminded us of how our activated charcoal saved the life of her Cairn Terror.  This little dog ate a huge dark chocolate bar that was 80% cacao.
