Keep Xylitol Away From Your Dogs

You may know that chocolate can be dangerous to your dog, but don’t forget about sugar-free gum! FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine has received many reports of life-threatening illness and death in pups that eat products containing xylitol, a sugar substitute common in sugar-free human foods like candy, baked goods, and peanut butter. Also, be sure to keep their paws off certain cough syrups, chewable vitamins, and oral products like mouthwash and toothpaste, which contain this ingredient that can have fatal consequences for your canine companion.
