  (a) Never give chocolate, because although it’s a treat for you, it’s poisonous for dogs. Cooked chicken bones can splinter and choke, and sausage is very fatty and can make a dog sick. Dog biscuits or treats from the vet are best—but not too many!

  (b) She’s probably had enough! Cats wag their tails when they are upset or uncertain.

  (c) If you’ve got this far with the quiz, you know the right answer—you find out about your pet first!
