I just received the following from the ASPCA: Just a Halloween reminder. Keep Halloween treats away from your dogs. Chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, agitation, high heart rates, tremors and seizures in dogs if enough is ingested. Xylitol, a sugar substitute, can cause low blood sugar and liver failure. Raisins can cause kidney failure. Keep your children and pets safe this holiday season.
I've also heard, in extreme cases, of dogs dieing from too much chocolate. Also, keep in mind, even things that are safe for your dogs, if they are not in their regular diet, can upset their stomach and make cause vomiting.
I posted this a long time ago, but here again is a list of foods your dog should avoid: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=0+1276&aid=1030
Keep your pets safe this Halloween.
