        XYLITOL
        ***********

        Xylitol is the sugar substitute found in many
        chewing gums, dietetic cookies, mints etc,
        that can be very hazardous to your dog's health.

        It has caused a number of dog deaths.

        In dogs, the initial response after consumption
        causes a significant increase in insulin levels
        which can then possibly drop blood sugar dramatically.

        Following ingesting Xylitol, dogs usually begin
        vomiting, become lethargic and can have difficulty
        standing or walking. Some have seizures.

        It may possibly cause liver failure and bleeding
        disorders and death.

        As few as two or three sticks of xylitol gum could
        be toxic to a 20-pound dog, the ASPCA (The American
        Society for the Prevention of Cruelty) says. (imagine how little
        it would take to affect a small yorkie pup)



        Try and be aware what goods you have at home that
        contain Xylitol.

        If your dog ingests any product that
        contains Xylitol, be sure to take them to your Vet
