Danger in chewing gum!

Post by Marty »

Although I knew artificial sweeteners may harm dogs, I never thought about this hazard and thought you may be interested in this article. I don't chew gum, but know a lot of people just leave it around...

Try this link. Sugarless gum is the problem.

One lady on another board had her two dogs get sick from eating a pack of sugarless gum.

And another link.

what I don't understand is why Solid Gold adds xylitol to their "dragonette" and "dragon's teeth" biscuits. http://www.solidgoldhealth.com/products ... 6&code=401

You can't even walk into my house with gum. I don't know what it is but if my dobie see you chewing gum he is in your face literally trying to take it out your mouth.
