XYLITOL TOXICITY: What You Need to Know

We see cases of Xylitol toxicity far too often. Xylitol is a sweetener that is safe for humans but extremely toxic to dogs. Even a small amount can cause a life-threatening drop in blood sugar or liver failure, and it usually starts with something as simple as a dog raiding a pack of sugar-free chewing gum.

Common sources of Xylitol include:
❎Sugar-free gum & breath mints
❎Certain diet peanut butters
❎Sugar-free baked goods
❎Some toothpastes and mouthwashes

So check your labels, and store these items out of reach. If your dog ingests Xylitol, every minute counts. Give us a call right away.
