| Chloe found a very bad treat today! Today, Chloe ran upstairs to me and I noticed she had something in her mouth. I pulled it out - it was a piece of gum! I know that most sugarfree gums (which is pretty much all gums) have xylitol in them. I know that it's fine for humans, but deadly to dogs. Well it was a piece of excel gum with the hard shell around it. She didn't eat any of the gum at all, just broke the shell. Good thing I got it when I did! I called the vet right away and they said that if she didn't eat any, she would probably be fine and not to worry. Well..i am a huge worry wort so I called another 2 vets in the city and they said the same thing. She didn't eat any of the gum, she just cracked the outer shell - which is so good! I have no idea where she got this piece from. I do have roommates, so maybe they dropped a piece, who knows! Needless to say, I will be doing some major housecleaning today and searching for other goodies that Chloe might find! haha Has this happened to anyone else? I did a search and found a few threads on it. Also, do any of you know of any gum that does not contain xylitol. My sister has a boston terrier and she worries about this as well. She purchased a gum called Glee, it's all natural and contains no xylitol, but she said it tastes like nothing so I guess that's out! Thanks everyone! Make sure your babies stay away from your packs of gum! (Xylitol is also in some candies and baking - It's a sweetener) |

| Chloe is funny, she gets into everything eh? Last night Missy rubbed her elastic out of her topknot and ate it, but she hasn't gotten any gum yet. I'm really careful that there's nothing on the floor within her reach. I'm glad your baby didn't eat the gum.

| Not all gum. It's the artificial sweeteners that are bad for them. So watch out for other food products that use them too.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | She should be ok since she didn't eat it. I banned all gum from my house.

| Wow, I didn't know this either. I'm really lucky then because I know that my dogs have gotten my sugar-free gum out of my purse before. I haven't chewed gum in awhile and it looks like its going to stay that way. I'm not going to push my luck!
