Bringing home your cat after surgery can be nerve-wracking. You take a long look at their tired little face, knowing you need to do everything you can to make them comfortable and safe. But where exactly do you start?

Whether it’s a rich slice of chocolate cake, a gooey brownie, or a quick snack to brighten your day, chocolate is just always there for us, and what’s better? We can always share the love.
