Is Xylitol Safe For Dogs?
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has reported that Xylitol may be toxic for dogs. Xylitol is often used as a sweetener – a substitute for sugar – in sugarless gum. Products containing Xylitol, including sugar free gums and candies as well as drug products such as toothpaste, have a 30 year history of safe human use in the US and worldwide. We encourage people to seek the counsel of their veterinarians about how to keep their dogs safe and healthy.
