That sugar free gum can KILL your dog!!

[Nellie]

This has been around for a while but, I feel it bears repeating here.

Please read this article: www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/xylitol.asp

Check the labels of your sugar free products and keep your dogs safe.

Thank you Nellie for this information I only have this type of gum in my house. I will make sure to be extra careful not to let my animals get to it.

know this for a while - but the reminder is a great one especially with people getting puppies - and another reason why the "leave it" command is a great one!!!

anything with the XYLITOL in it can kill your dogs - good thing I use Truvia in my coffee other wise some artifical sweetners in your coffee could be hazardous to your dogs health - especially if they are coffee theives like mine. Sugar free actually is not healthy for us or our pets

Thanks Nellie for the reminder

Wow I had known that sugar free gum was bad for dogs but just how bad is really scary!! I have sugar free gum all the time and we quite often have sugar free cough drops....going to have to be really really careful as to where we safely store these items!!!!
