healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/06/09/xylitol-poisoning-in-pets.aspx Story at-a-glance Xylitol poisoning in pets increased 108% from 2015 to 2020, including a 47.2% jump from 2018 to 2019 alone In 2020, xylitol earned the dubious title of second most common poison for pets, with chocolate being No. 1 If too much xylitol is consumed, a sharp drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur, triggering loss of consciousness and seizures; larger doses can also cause liver failure and death, which may begin hours or days after ingestion Xylitol is found in hundreds of products, including food, candy, gum, mints and over-the-counter and prescription medications It’s possible for a small dog to become severely ill from ingesting just one piece of xylitol-containing gum or mint, so keep all products with xylitol out of reach of your pets My notes: I know xylitol is in a number of food products for humans. It can be hard on us as well. Be very careful when feeding your pet anything that may contain xylitol.
