A new coworker mentioned that her vet told her to start feeding her dogs a small amount of chocolate every day, on a plan to gradually increase it, until her dogs could eat a full chocolate bar with no problems, in case they ever went on a chocolate binge. She said the vet told her she would have to give them some every day from now on, and then they'd be safe and not react to chocolate at all.

I hadn't heard of this before.

The really scary part? She told her mom, and her mom has started as well. Her dogs are at least big enough to handle some chocolate without worry (she said she has a 'big pit' and a rot mix), but she said her moms dogs were 'little poodle-like things'!!!


Anyone else heard of a vet advising this? I tried to talk to her about at least having her mom talk to a vet first, if NOTHING else, but she blew me off. I hope all the dogs will be ok.
