We don't GIVE our dogs candy but...with 4 kids...uh, sometimes an odd piece gets hunted out and eaten. Chooclate is NEVER a danger here but Skittles, Nerds, etc. sometimes find their way in to the dogs tummies. Sometimes. With Halloween passing by we have had to oput all the bags up very high because our little Basset/??? was trying to get at the candy and with candy bars in the bags we were worried about her getting ahold of some chocolate. So..the bags are up WAAAY out of her reach. She's a serious sneak thief.....anything that can be eaten will be eaten (even if it's not actually food!).
