Just a public service announcement: xylitol is incredibly toxic to dogs. Way more than chocolate.
Since it's commonly added to candies and even some forms of peanut butter, please be careful when leaving these things around your kitchen. A few pieces of Ice Breakers sugarless gum can kill a 50lb dog.

- kthejoker2 2y agoCan confirm, 20 years ago our puppy got a half-empty pack of sugarfree gum out of my wife's purse, had major liver poisoning, had to have his stomach pumped. Luckily he made it but it was amazingly bad considering how little he actually ingested.
