šŸ•Dog Lovers...Please look at new item #M117076...Chocolate ?????

Hi...

 

I  Just called QVC Customer Service to report the pictures of Dogs

on item number M117076.

 

It looks as if those Chocolate Bars are treats for DOGS !!!!

 

I would hate to be the person that purchased that Item thinking the bars were

cute and for dogs, not knowing that Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, and feeds

their dog pieces of the bars as treats !!!!!

 

What do you think ???? What is your opinion ???

I don't think you're supposed to give them to your dog. I think the dog photos are just for the "cuteness" factor.

@Kat 13, I agree with you and certainly hope that there is a disclaimer in print that is large enough for the average person to read.  I also hope that all dog owners know not to give chocolate to their dogs.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I know that...that factor was the reason for my post....

 

Because of the pictures, It looks as if the bars are for dogs...

 

And nowhere does anything tell anyone that the Chocolate Bars are not for dogs.....

The item appears to be for dogs but does NOT say whether pets or people.   This IS serious issue. Could be harmful to either dogs or people.   Not clear at all who is their intended consumer.    Good catch, Kat 1.

@Kat 13@SXMGirl, @YorkieonmyPillow 

 

Thanks for making this phone call although I think it's a mute point.

 

This kind of cute advertising is not only misleading but very dangerous. I can easily see children with pets sharing their easter chocolate bars (and bunnies) with their dog pets.

 

There is a list of deadly foods NOT to share with pets and CHOCOLATE is on this list. Please be very careful with what you feed to your pets albeit dogs or cats (and for our GH friends, hooded dragons).

  Oh, okay...I misunderstood what you were asking.

  I agree it makes no sense to use pics of dogs on a candy bar!

I think it's very bizarre packaging and marketing for a candy bar.  Cute puppies but nothing about that makes me crave a chocolate bar.  (any dog owner who doesn't know chocolate is deadly doesn't deserve a dog IMO).

Ok, so maybe the packaging isn't the best idea, but come on...... are people really dumb enough to think this product would be for a dog?  As @Mj12 said, if you don't know your dog shouldn't have chocolate, you shouldn't have a dog.
