Sainsbury’s has been left with its tail between its legs after posting chocolates through customers’ letterboxes, resulting in multiple dogs falling ill.
The retailer sent an unsolicited free gift of assorted Green & Black’s chocolate bars to hundreds of customers. But in some cases the present was intercepted by hungry canines.
The ordeal resulted in five complaints, with dog owners saying the chocolate had made their pups sick - in one case, a dog owner claimed her eight-month-old puppy had to have its stomach pumped.
Sainsbury’s has since apologised for the error and revealed it is paying for the vet bills of those affected.
