QUINCY, ILL. -- Halloween is over and unless you've donated your kid's candy, you probably have a supply of goodies that will last you until next Halloween. As you and your family eat the delicious treats, watch out for those pets that might be begging for a bite.

Chocolate is really bad for dogs, especially dark chocolate. It's worse for your K9 friends than milk chocolate.

Cats like shiny things, so be careful of aluminum wrappers.

If you do suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, you should call your veterinarian immediately.
