Warning — Xylitol
Highly toxic to dogs — even small amounts can cause a rapid, dangerous drop in blood sugar and liver damage. Keep sugar-free gum, mints, and baked goods away from pets.
Xylitol (birch/plant sugar alcohol)
A natural sweetener from birch and other plants, popular in sugar-free gum and mints. Commonly reached for around oral health and cavity resistance, since it doesn't feed the bacteria that cause tooth decay. It has roughly the same sweetness as sugar but with about 40% fewer calories. It occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits and vegetables, though commercial xylitol is usually extracted from birch or corn cobs.
