Sugarless Gum

I have known for some years now that xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is often found in sugarless gum, is bad for dogs.  However, just recently I've heard a few stories about dogs who either eaten the gum with xylitol and either died or just barely recovered through intensive medical treatment.  While I am not advocating that you don't buy xylitol or the gum that uses it, I do recommend that you make sure it is not kept in a place that is accessible to your dog.  Additionally, if you suspect that your dog may have eaten some of this artificial sweetener, call your vet immediately.
