Products Sweetened with Xylitol
Can Be Toxic for Dogs
I often receive emails forwarded to me warning of this danger or that danger to animals and humans. Rarely do I receive an email with so much truth as to warrant a warning to dog lovers everywhere. I've compiled a few articles from, I think you will agree, reputable sources, including The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and Snopes. |
This 2006 article discusses the potentially deadly effects the artificial sweetener Xylitol can have on our canine family members. It offers numerous quotes on why Xylitol is harmful, and explains many ways to avoid Xylitol poisoning. |
| This 2004 article offers insight on a dogs reaction when on Xylitol and discusses xylitol toxicosis. |
| This 2007 article shares the text of an email that was passed around in May 2007 and explains how Xylitol affects a dog's blood glucose level and the effect those changes can have. |
