You guys were wondering about ingredients in chocolates..

According to the HomeAgain lady:
the first thing she asked me to look for in the ingredients with an x, like Xylitol. There is another x word also but i dont remember.

She said that when dogs consume too much chocolate it goes to their pancreas and irritates it, causing alot of extra insulin to be produced and causes their hear to race too fast.

Dogs can get pancreatitis from overdosing on chocolate.

The best thing to do when your dog eats chocolate is to call the vet and let them compare the amount eaten to how much he weighs.
If he eats alot of chocolate you will have to induce vomiting. If you dont know how long its been since he ate it, and you dont see vomit anywhere the best thing to do is take up his food and water and watch for the signs.

Signs of pancreatitis in corgis:
1) They become sluggish and do not want to move at all.
2) They will not eat or drink
3) They set like an egyptian cat ( thats what the lady used as an example) they set like this so they dont put pressure on their abdomen.
4) They will not let you touch anywhere around their abdomen.


I would recommend joining HomeAgain 100%.
the 24 hour emergency line is amazing. When you put a chip in your corgi you get this feature.

They have a huge database with information, and vets onhand 24/7. When i told her about the chocolates he had eaten she was able to look through her program and find the name brand, how many where in it and the size of each.

Just wanted to share!

Thank you Bailee! Sidney is on Home Again but I never knew about that feature. Good to know, though I hope I never have to use it.
