Trick Your Dog's Sweet Tooth With These Treats
Both chocolate and sugar-free candies are dangerous for dogs — don't worry, that means more for us! Yum. Since candy goes hand-in-hand with Halloween for the (human) kiddies, check out some sweet treats for your furry babes, too.
Sugar Substitutes Still Not Sweet for Pets!
If treating a (human) sweetie this year, please be careful of any dangerous plants or chocolates within your pet's reach. In addition to the potential for poisoning (or sick tummies) from sweets, don't allow any access to sugar substitutes either! Of special risk to pets are gums or candies sweetened with the not-so-sweet sugarish alternative known as xylitol.

New Product Alert: Orbee Tuff Mint
I already love Planet Dog's cute, yet sturdy toys for my crazy chomper, North – they're definitely worth the investment because they hold up so well in jaws of steel.
