The veterinary profession is incredibly rewarding, but the demands of the job can often leave vets and vet nurses struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Long hours, emotionally taxing cases, and a fast-paced environment make it crucial to prioritise personal wellbeing.

Theobromine is a methylxanthine occurring as the major alkaloid in chocolate and cocoa powder. Chocolate is made from the fermented, dried and then roasted beans of Theobroma cacao.

Cocoa mulch used in gardening and some laxatives (usually senna-based) are also a potential source of theobromine.
