accioharo:yespumpkindoodlesthings:ruffboijuliaburnsides:veterinaryrambles:vaspider:teamvoorhees:animal-factbook:Dog owners please be aware.REBLOG THIS PLEASEThis is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.Always good to remind folks - if it has xylitol, KEEP IT AWAY FROM DOGS! It induces profound hypoglycemia and liver failure and is life-threatening :(Xylitol is also the typical ingredient in sugar free candies and some baked goods. Other names, if you’re checking labels:What other names is Xylitol known by? Birch Sugar, E967, Meso-Xylitol, Méso-Xylitol, Sucre de Bouleau, Xilitol, Xylit, Xylite, Xylo-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol.A list of brands and products containing xylitolFYI in case you’re worried, xylitol is not recommended for cats, but it doesn’t cause serious harm. I wanted to doublecheck because very often if it’s dangerous for dogs it’s also dangerous for cats. So if your cat gets into it, you don’t need to rush them to the vet, but you still probably shouldn’t deliberately let them have any. -- source link
