Easter is just around the corner its Easter Sunday on April 17. Dog owners who consider their four-legged friends to be part of the family might be wondering what they can get to treat their pet so they arent left out of all the fun.
Its important to remember that Easter goodies for humans, including chocolate and hot cross buns, are toxic to dogs. The chocolate Easter eggs designed for dogs that you see in stores are made out of carob, a dog-safe chocolate substitute.
Here are some of the Easter treats for dogs available from high street retailers to make sure that the Easter weekend is special for everyone.
