Most dog owners will know the feeling of trying to tuck into some chocolate during Easter, only to be met with longing stares from your pooch.
And while we all love to spoil our furry friends, everyone knows that chocolate is not safe for dogs to eat.
Which is why many family pets will be in luck this year, as quite a few major retailers are stocking Easter eggs that are safe for them to indulge in this year.
Retailers such as Pets At Home and B&M have a few dog-friendly options that you can pick up for them to get involved with the Easter egg hunt this year.
Dog-friendly Easter eggs are made with an ingredient called Carob, which is an alternative chocolate. As it does not contain any caffeine or theobromine, it's safe for pets to eat.
Before you go marching to the shops to pick up your pooch their very own special Easter treat, it's worth keeping in mind that this time of year is quite poisonous to pups. So, remember to make sure that your treat is safe for your four-legged friend.
With that in mind, we have rounded up a few of the best dog-friendly Easter eggs that will have your pups tail wagging this year.
