Xylitol is a sugar substitute that is toxic to dogs. It’s being used more frequently in foods, gum, and even in non-food products like lotions that dogs might eat so the danger to our pets is growing.

Symptoms of Xylitol poisoning include vomiting, weakness, lack of coordination, lethargy, tremors, and more, according to vcahospitals.com.

If you believe that your dog may have consumed Xylitol, you should get immediate veterinary care, even if it means going to an emergency veterinary hospital. Xylitol ingestion can cause low blood sugar, seizures, liver failure, and death.
