A Little-Known Sugar Found In Everyday Items Can Be Deadly To Your Dog

Xylitol is a little-known chemical used to sweeten many food products.

It's not a big deal to humans, but when consumed by dogs, it could result in their deaths!

Have you been feeding your dog any of these products that contain xylitol?


News4Jax lists some of the foods that typically contain xylitol:

...peanut butter, cupcakes, cookies, sugar-free gum, muffins, ketchup, protein bars, fruit drinks and pudding.

But the list doesn't stop there! Xylitol can also be found in:

  • Toothpaste (some of which are made specifically for dogs)
  • Deodorant
  • Mouthwash and floss
  • Medications
  • Nasal spray
  • Lotions
  • Gels
  • Vitamins
  • Variety of cosmetics and hair products

When consumed by dogs, xylitol can cause the pancreas to release insulin, resulting in possible "seizures, vomiting, liver failure, a comatose state and...death."

Symptoms begin roughly 15-30 minutes after the dogs eat a xylitol-filled product.

Twitter takes dog safety very seriously.






As always, if you suspect your pooch has consumed xylitol, or another harmful substance, contact the Poison Pet Helpline at 855-764-7661 or reach out to your local veterinarian at once.

A Guatemalan family—in the United States under legal asylum status—is seeking answers from the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after a violent interaction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

On Monday, ICE agents pulled over a Toyota driven by Juan Francisco Méndez, 29, as he and his wife, Marilu Domingo Ortiz, traveled to a dental appointment in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The couple called their lawyer, Ondine Galvez-Sniffin, who advised they stay in their vehicle with the windows closed until she could get to them.

The White House is facing heavy criticism after it posted a video on X showing off a new painting of President Donald Trump's assassination attempt last summer—that is now hanging where an official portrait of former President Barack Obama was once displayed.

Originally hung near the staircase to the presidential residence on the State Floor, it has been moved to the opposite wall—where a portrait of former President George W. Bush once hung.
