Apparently a sugar substitute called Xylitol , found in sugarless chewing gum, can kill dogs.

Sam Caress and Jordan Pellett, owners of a 2 year old Labrador retriever who had gotten “into some chewing gum” was rushed to the vet after the dog began vomiting.

Caress was later told by the vet that their dog’s “kidney tests weren’t good”. The dogs kidneys were shutting down and they were faced with having to put their pet down.

Xylitol, an additive in chewing gum, killed Caress’ dog. This sugar substitute can cause severe low blood sugar, seizures and liver failure in dogs.

This birch wood extract can be found in mints, candies, chewable vitamins, select baked goods, and even peanut butter.

Journalist Patrick Allan explains that Xylitol “is actually about 100 times as toxic as milk chocolate” to a dog.

Xylitol’s validity as a beneficial additive has not been clearly determined. In 2004, a Caries Research study found that “there is no evidence for a caries-therapeutic effect of xylitol.”

Another review of the effectiveness of Xylitol found that the evidence showing Xylitol’s efficacy is “inconclusive” and posed the question: “Where does this leave the confused dental practitioner, who has to offer chairside advice to patients, but cannot wait of further (good-quality) research to be conducted and published, providing a more solid evidence-base?”
