A dog almost died after eating a tin of Quality Street chocolates left out on the table before Christmas. Owner Rachel had to spend thousands of pounds in vet bills after Tilly the nine-year-old Jackchi dog became seriously ill.
Even after treatment, Tilly still had not had enough chocolate. Rachel said: "I always have an advent calendar, a giant tub of Quality Street on the coffee table, and then there are the little chocolates we hang on the tree.
"One of the chocolate Christmas tree ornaments hung quite low, enough to be in Tilly’s reach and again she inhaled a chocolate before I could get to her. The same symptoms started happening again, so we rushed her back to the vet."
