Dogs Trust Ireland is urging pet owners to make sure they keep Easter eggs out of their furry friend's reach on Easter Sunday morning.
The dog charity is warning people to be aware that despite 99% of dog owners knowing that chocolate is toxic to dogs, recent research showed that 19% of them still managed to get their paws on some.
The sugary treat is toxic as it contains a chemical called theobromine, however, while the chemical is fine to ingest for humans, dogs are unable to metabolize theobromine as well as people do.
