SUGAR FREE GUM- DEADLY TO DOGS!

I recently received a disturbing e-mail about a woman whose dog digested sugar free gum.

Sugar free gum has an ingredient (fake sugar) called XYLITOL that is deadly to dogs. It puts their little bodies into multiple organ failure and it is very difficult for them to recover.

That being said, I highly recommend switching back to real-sugar gum. Just brush your teeth a little harder :)

Also, watch out when you're walking your dog in local parks, on the sidewalk etc. because someone may have left a chunk of their sugar-free gum there for your dog to find!
