If you are interested in trying it, try to get the type made from the Birch tree. Not the overseas type.. It is a one to one ratio to regular sugar and you can't tell the difference. |
You probably already know this but just to be safe, I'm going to mention it to you anyway. Be sure your dogs can't get to the Xylitol or even the packaging it comes it - it can be extremely toxic to dogs in very tiny amounts. We had one member here who almost lost both of her babies because they licked some barbecue sauce that contained Xylitol. They were immediately rushed to the vet and both were ill from it, though one of them was gravely ill and spent quite a long time in ICU with acute liver failure.
