real chocolate?

I went to Marks and Spencer yesterday to buy some wine. I have a habit of always looking in the pet food section of any shop/supermarket I go into, and to my horror - M&S sell Chocolate dog biscuits - it even says 'made with real chocolate' on the packet!!!!!!

I couldn't beleive it, so i bought some to show my OH, he couldn't beleive it either.

I my shock 'over the top' or is anybody else shocked at this?

All chocolate used for doggy stuff is real chocolate....its just got no sugar added

I'm sorry archer, it isn't - I use 100% carob in our treats - I wouldn't dream of using chocolate.

have a look at:

Maybe you should make M&S aware

Yes, I think I will - thanks Annestaff.

I think you'll find most shop bought doggy chocs are normal chocolate...I have seen some that state they are made of carob but it still seems a relatively 'new' idea from what I have seen...but then since I don't feed mine any kind of choccy treats maybe I'm not looking hard enough

the dog chocolate drops i have for indie still say they contain the harmful ingredient of real chocolate and not to feed too much

I think thats about the norm Jenny apart from the companies who make the 'homemade treats'.At least theres a label on to warn of the dangers

I always thought they were a special chocolate which wasn't harmful for dogs.

That's terrible, i never knew!

Do they always carry a warning?
