I just learned about Xyletol dangers I saw this on our local news tonight and learned a lot. I did a search here and didn't see anything posted about it so I thought I'd share. Sugar Substitute May Be Dangerous to Dogs SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — If you think it's no big deal that your dog just ate some sugar-free gum or a cookie or two, think again. You may want to make an immediate trip to your veterinarian. While veterinarians have suspected that the sugar substitute xylitol can make dogs sick, there is now further clinical evidence of an association between the product and possible liver failure in dogs. A clinical report appearing in the Oct. 1 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) discusses the sometimes fatal conditions developed by dogs that have ingested xylitol. Xylitol, a sweetener found in many sugar-free chewing gums, candies, baked goods and toothpastes, is a naturally occurring ingredient that may have far-reaching negative health effects on dogs. entire article can be read here http://www.avma.org/press/releases/061001_xylitol.asp |

This was a good read, my son is a type 1 diabetic and we have tons of sugar-free...we mostly stick to splenda products, but now we will be alittle more cautious around Boss. |
CET toothpaste also has sorbitol as the first ingredient which is questionable as well.. |

That is what I use for Ellie. I guess I need to switch.:( She has done so well with it. Now I don't know what to do.:confused: |
Yeah, I went to their website to look up the ingredients in their products and sorbitol came up as the first ingredient in the toothpaste :( |
